:: Overview

    Want to get the most out of the Linux firewall technology?  Do 
iptables, bridging, ebtables, and Ethernet frames need a good review?   
Would you welcome a small, $65 "filter" computer that better isolates 
your computers from Internet attacks? 

    Lloyd Kvam uses a delightfully clever reverse application to review 
Linux firewall installation.  He placed a small Linux computer between a 
virus-compromised Windows server and the Internet to intercept spurious 
broadcasts from Windows, thereby protecting the Internet!  (And, it was 
not necessary to take the Windows machine off-line for hours to purge 
its viruses.)

    Learn about protection strategies, openwrt Linux for routers, and 
the Linksys wrt54gl hardware.  Your new prowess may help you get more 
from all your firewall applications.
