IPFire publishes firewall setup tips |
 |
The IPFire project is continuing their series of tips to improve computre and network security. This week the team posted tips on setting up a firewall. "By default, IPFire permits all outgoing connections initiated by internal networks or the system itself. While this is certainly not optimal in terms of security, it is necessary for some use cases such as fixed changeover dates, and makes using IPFire less troublesome for beginners and drop-in replacement scenarios, as its firewall engine behaves like an ordinary ISP router. To make things as secure as possible, however, it is necessary to drop any connection by default." As the tutorial points out, locking down the firewall will prevent network services, including remote logins, from functioning making it important to proceed with caution. |
