Fellow networking travellers
We are setting up a new internet connection and missing some important steps for best security model. The ISP involved seems a bit green at this as well. What we have is a dual PVC coming into a ADSL router/modem. One PVC (1) will be an internet connection. The second PVC (2) will be a private GRE connection to a branch office. The router/modem brand has been specified by the ISP as only one supported (Open Networks). It only has one WAN input (the dual PVC) and one LAN output. The (1) connection is a standard public IP address. The (2) conneciton is a private IP address 192.168.150.x As this particular router/modem has only "OK" firewall capability, we wish to add an additional firewall (Snapgear Linux appliance) between it and the head office network. These requirement of (1) NAT and (2) routing are configurable by themselves (1) iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o $INTERNET_IF -s 192.168.x.212 -j SNAT --to-source 203.185.x.x iptables -A ExtAcc -d 192.168.x.212 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $INTERNET_IF -p tcp --dport 80 -d 203.185.x.x -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.x.212 etc is easy for (1) allowing public ports into internal servers. eg web server access. (2) cp /etc/1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -F iptables -t nat -F iptables -t mangle -F iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT to route the private branch office subnet into the head office subnet Is it possible to combine the 2 of them and still maintain a secure firewall?
