Dear all, Is there away to force/make it easier for the firewall to inspect inter-LAN packets. Perhaps examining packets at layer 2 could capture this.
this is exactly the point. there are some firewalls that can do layer2 filtering. (bridge mode, transparent mode, layer2).
I understand that one solution would be to install a local firewall on each machine.
this is another option, but you can have some difficulties to find a local firewall on a printer.
This is just a general question, so that I might better understand the area of "inter-LAN" protection. While it may be possible to have a firewall to not just protect traffic from Internet to LAN and LAN to Internet but also LAN to LAN, it may not be a practical thing to do. Any comments or insights are welcomed.
you should check in the dd-wrt doc or ask the dd-wrt mailing list if it can be configured with bridge interface on the LAN.
regards, Will.
