Specs for a firewall.

Hi list!

I'm looking to setup my first Open BSD firewall in the near future, and I
was hoping to get a little feedback from you about ideal specs for a first
time machine.

Below is a little about my situation.

I plan to install the firewall physically between my router (Apple Time
Capsule) and my ADSL 2+ Modem so it can filter all traffic sent and received
to the Internet.

As I understand it, I will be running pf to filter the traffic on each of
the NIC's installed, and I would like to install an IDS.
Besides this, Ill only really need to run what ever is nesacery to allow a
secure connection to be established to that machine so I can manage it from
within my network. (Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong, I'm still learning!)

I look forward to reading your advice, and I'm happy to provide any
aditional information.

Tim

Judging from the number of replies, I think it is safe to say we have no
idea what you are talking about.

If your system is not booting without a CDROM drive attached, you have a
system configuration issue, not an OpenBSD issue, nor a softraid issue.

If that's not what you were saying, please provide hard facts of:
* Exactly what you did
* Exactly what you expected to happen
* Exactly what you saw happen.

And read over the appropriate section in FAQ2, please.

What you provided above was interpretations, which were probably at
least partly incorrect.

Nick.

I use an ALIX 2d13 w/ OpenBSD 4.7 as a firewall/router between ADSL2+,
a wired network and a wireless AP.  It was reasonably cheap and has been
quite reliable.  I think I put a 2GB CF card in it at the time, which is
still mostly unused.

I've been wanting to do this for a long time too...

I've not been all that smart lately, but uh... SSH?

Seriously, you can not buy too little hw in a "standard" platform for
your needs as you describe them.  You would have trouble finding too
little HW sitting on the curb on trash day.

I used an Intel D945GCLF2D for my old home access point, but you can put
a second ethernet interface on it's single PCI if you like.

It's pretty small [1], so I used a Mini-ITX case for it, and that's a
real plus, since I stuffed it somewhere I never needed to see it again.*

Dell Netbook i1018

Hello All:

I am thinking of purchasing a Dell i1018 netbook and was wondering if anyone
else uses it with OpenBSD 4.8.  If so, I would really appreciate a copy of
the dmesg output.  Dell is being a pain about providing specifics to me.

Thanks,
Matt

Yeah, good point.  If you aren't yet comfortable with serial consoles
(and probably PXE booting) it will be easier to start with a regular,
older computer with a CD drive.  I think the ALIX boards are a good fit
for this type of workload but they certainly bring additional challenges
for newcomers.
