This drawing was done Microsoft new version of visio which is still in beta it called visio 2010 and yes I do have a legit license for it. The way that I design this is setup as two networks instead of one. Reason why you may ask because Network A is does not have a speed restriction and not monitor. Network B is has a speed limit and it is monitor. This is a basic drawing for this configuration. Remember the computer that your going to use must have at least two network cards. Let's break it down the red line named eth0 is your unfilter internet access which your trying to protect. eth1 is the green line which is your internal network which means that anything inside that network is protected. The blue line is optional, but I use it f
