firewalls

[danzigrules]

What is the best out there that will work with nat32?

Or the easiest way to set up a pc as the firewall. I have a 486 33mhz that is just sitting in the corner. Can I use that as the firewall? If so what os would you use?

<edit> I am currently using ZA, but just found out that it does not work on the pc with the nat program. I need something for the fact that some @sshole in chicago got my cc # and charged 3000.00 to it.


Thx

http://www.freesco.com
or
http://www.linuxrouter.org/

Both free and very secure, 102% better than any of the software based solutions.

not to rub salt in the wound but the most common way someone can get your credit card # is if you use it at restaurants or full service gas stations (or anywhere the salesperson takes your card out of your view or imprint during the validation process). The online retail company I work with recently had a string of stolen credit card orders using a touristy like restaurant as the ship to address. It turns out that an employee at that restaurant was pulling credit card imprints from the trash by the register and using those numbers to order product. Shuxclams has the best solution if you really like to tinker with that 486.

good luck

OK Shuxclams,

With freesco, will I still need to use the nat32 program?
From what I understand in the readme that I don't but thought I would ask, since that is the only way that I can get all the pc's on my network to connect thru my cable modem.

Thought I would ask you since it seems that you seem to have used both programs before.


Thx
