OpenBSD makes a great firewall, and it's extremely secure. It's also _VERY_ powerfull in how you can build your ruleset, more so even than a cisco pix firewall in my opinion. check it out: www.openbsd.org
Hello All! I need to secure a subnet and restrict access to certain users. I have been looking at different way to do it and I didn`t find many real way to do it just some concept. Here the solution I found on the net: 1- Access-list on the interface of that subnet. Very difficult to manager and limite allowed user to use a specific workstation or vlan. 2- Cisco Pix firewall. Too expensive not justifiable for the projet 3- Remote access software. Which one is really secure? PCanywhere, VNC, terminal server 4- Authentication base proxy. Novell borderManager seem to do the job, squid also seem to do it. Any other that can be link to an active directory 5- VPN software peer to peer. Microsoft has a solution. I also read about role base access control (RBAC) but it seem to be implemented in the OS not as a stand alone software or in router. Am I right? Where is the official web page for squid?
