Best all in one linux based proxy,firewall, dhcp and wins server.
- by BeStRaFe
I help to run a lan in Sydney.
We have a need for a proxy/gateway solution to allow those pesky games that require internet to work.
I have been doing this with an ISA server and it has worked quite well.
However now i wish to port this over to run on the same hardware as our cacti / nagios box under a vmware VM.
ISA server is horridly nad due to the massive ram and i/o requirement for something is basically port blocking and handing out IP's.
The needs are as follows.
1. DHCP
2. WINS (otherwise network devices fight over who is the WINS master)
3. Filtering based in PORT for outbound traffic.
4. Ability to whitelist IP/MAC's for internet access.
5. Web Interface.
I had been thinking to use PFSENSE however there is no option for a WINS server and i cbf working my way around bsd.
