RE: insecurity in internet connection thro cable modems

["Symon Thurlow" <sthurlow () webvein com>]

An easy way to do this (if you have a spare PC, anything will do) is to use ipcop (www.ipcop.org)
 
It is a free linux based Firewall (IPchains based) with squid, snort, 3DES VPN's and a gui interface (Web based).
 
If you have  a simple network configuration (internal and external) it will take you about 10 minutes from nothing to 
up and running.
 
I have it running on a P166 with 64MB ram and a 64MB smart flash card. I only use it for VPN, but it works really well, 
and is a great for ADSL/Cable, as it has lots of built in support for PCI and USB ADSL/Cable modems.
