Hi,
Am also about to attempt sharing a DSL internet connection with my home lan. Main reason is to try and put in some content filtering for the kids.
Have read a number of posts about internet sharing, 2 NICs in one PC, NAT, DHCP, etc and (I hope!) reckon I can get these bits to work.
I noticed that AwPhuch (alias Brian) notes his red, orange and green connections. I also gather that he uses smoothwall. So, if possible, could AwPhuch post some of the details of how he set it up?
Secondly, after trawling around the net, I have found a few linux content filters and it seems (to probably ignorant me) that one called 'privoxy' appears to be OK. I would greatly like to hear others opinions of this packages - or any other packages that would be better.
Lastly, have also stumbled across a EU sponsored project for content filtering, specifically images, called 'poesia', the home web page is here. Has anyone tried this filter?
Once completed, I would be more than happy to share my experience at setting up the content filtered, shared internet with the group.
Thanks,
Geoff.
