Sure, that would work fine. Simplest way would probably be to use your firewall and create separate VLANs for your home network and the 'public' network. Set up rules to prevent routing between the two zones. Sharing the network connection like this would minimize the risk to your home machines while allowing the broadcast capabilities you're asking about. However keep in mind that it may be outside the TOS of your internet provider's service.. On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 3:10 PM, John Lightfoot <jlightfoot () gmail com> wrote:
Hello, I have a home wireless network that I’d like to make available to neighbors who need to borrow a connection from time to time. Consider it karmic repayment for the times I’ve had to borrow someone else’s open connection. Of course, I’d like to do it securely, so I’m looking for some advice. My main network has a wireless router connected to the Internet, with a few wired connections to my home computers. The main router’s wireless network is protected by WPA, access control via MAC address, etc. My thought is I would attach a second wireless router (Netgear) to a port off the main router and leave it unsecured, using a second subnet, and block any routing between the two subnets, other than straight out to the Internet, but I’m not sure the best way to do that. So, a few questions: If I set up a second router with a subnet “subservient” to my main router, presumably it has to get an IP address within the address space of the main network, but how can I limit access to that network to only my Internet interface? Would it make more sense for my secure network to be subservient to the main network, i.e. open up the main network and secure a secondary subnet off it? I also have a Secure Computing SG 300 Firewall/VPN appliance, could I configure that help keep the networks separate and my home network secure? It’s got a lot of nice features, but I’m not sure it would help make my configuration more secure. This may be a very bad idea, so I’d also be happy to hear why that’s so if it’s true. Thanks for any advice.
