In the previous PDF I showed how to build a firewall system and I used IPCOP (IPCOP originally came from Smooth Firewall) and it still pretty much the same steps of installing Smooth Firewall Express. I am assuming that you already have Smooth Firewall Express 3.0. Before continuing here is a short description from their website “SmoothWall Open Source Project was set up in 2000 to develop and maintain SmoothWall Express - a Free firewall that includes its own security-hardened GNU/Linux operating system and an easy-to-use web interface”.

As you use Linux distributions you will notice folders on the root directory. As you read below it will explain what these folders do. The following list provides more detailed information and gives some examples which files and sub directories can be found in the directories: File Structure /bin Contains the basic shell commands that may be used both by root and by other users. These commands include ls, mkdir, cp, mv, rm, and rmdir. /bin also contains Bash, the default shell, and other shells such as csh, tsh, TC. /boot Contains data required for booting, such as the boot loader, the kernel, and other data that is used before the kernel begins executing user mode programs. /dev This holds device files that represent hardware components. /etc this is where the local configuration files that control the operation of programs like the X Window System. The /etc/init.d subdirectory contains scripts that are executed during the boot process. /home/username this holds the p...

Apache is an open source web server application that works with UNIX, Linux, or Windows. The differences of IIS (Internet Information Services) which windows version and control by GUI (Graphical User Interface) or CLI (Command Line Interface) and it is easy to setup.

Today I'm going to show you how to get start. In order to create a network you must design it in paper, visio, or any kind of drawing that shows your plan. If you don't create some kind of drawing your network will not be very efficient. 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...
