Firewall recommendation for a rack of webservers?

by Olivier Mueller

Hello, Now that the office firewall is running fine (uptime: 34 days, not a single problem since last month, cf. the "VDSL/Zyxel P2802 HWL not "strong" enough for a small company LAN?" thread), I'm now back, looking for a new kind of firewall :) For a specific project with it's own rack @datacenter, I would need a device to "protect" about 10 web-servers: - deny everything, and then - allow web traffic (80/443) from everywhere -> servers - allow administrative (sftp/ssh) traffic from specific IP's - ability to detect http-based "attacks/ddos" (like bad configured spidering) : if there are too many http requests from specific hosts -> throttle/deny access for some time. I guess it's something which should be implemented on application level, but who knows... ? - bandwidth: average: 5Mbit/s, peaks: 10-15Mbit/s - stable, reasonable price... (max 1-3kChf?) - rackmount Under digitec.ch ( http://www.digitec.ch/ProdukteAuswahl2.aspx?knr=490 ) as a start there are 9 "Rackmount" FW's. But most of them are VPN-oriented, with IpSec-Tunnels, SSL-Tunnels, etc: mostly stuff which is expensive and that I really don't need. Is there anything you can recommend in this case? It if was only me, I would take something there: http://pfsense.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=44&Itemid=50 and start with that. But the customer would also like to see some "non open-source"-based solutions... :> Regards, Olivier

Internet in Spain

by Radek Mrskos

Hello I want to travel to the south of spain, but need to be connected to the internet during this time (no hotel, no Public-AP near to the place where I stay) Is there anything similar to "Mobile Unlimited" in Spain, or is there a ADSL that I could use only for some weeks, without paying the whole year? If someone has some information I would appreciate if he could share the information with me. Thanx and regards Radek

Bluewin SMTP Policy

by Roger Schmid

Dear Swinog members Until now, we provided an authenticated smtp-server for our customers and a separate "open" smtp-server for customers with email-adresses from other providers. We would like to shut down the relaying server and have the customers use the smtp-servers from their mail-provider (gmx, gmail, bluewin etc.). Now we found out that bluewin doesn't allow authenticated smtp-relay from users outside their ip-range, so all our customers with bluewin-mailadresses would have no smtp-server available. I am sure that some of you had the same issue and would be interested how other (small) isp's have resolved this problem. Thank you, Roger Schmid
