Firewall recommendation for a rack of webservers?
by Olivier Mueller 18 Jul '08

18 Jul '08

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 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

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 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

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

JANOG's English Page fully renewed
by Masaru AKAI 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Dear SwiNOG Colleagues, Japan Network Operators' Group (JANOG) is a forum for network operators in Japan and has been active since 1997. JANOG's official language is Japanese, with biannual meetings in January and July as well as its mailing list janog[at]janog.gr.jp . JANOG has received numerous requests to make forum discussions available to non Japanese speakers, as discussion topics in a country with very high penetration ratio of broadband access, especially FTTH, would be something different from others and it is felt that other NOG groups could benefit if JANOG's discussion were more widely shared. JANOG volunteer members have been working together recently to make JANOG content available in English in order that non Japanese speakers can share it. This effort is going on through Wiki on JANOG Server and available content is still very limited, however we think that we have reached the initial stage to have it released with a minimum set of content. We are really delighted to announce that the JANOG English website is now available from: http://www.janog.gr.jp/en/ Please visit this site to see what is going on in JANOG. Your comments are most welcome for us to bring better content to English Website. Regards, Masaru AKAI, for JANOG i18n Team

massive udp "attacks" from 67.228.4.81
by Marco Fretz 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

Hi everybody, is there anyone else expecting massive UDP (mostly port 53) traffic from 67.228.4.81? Destinations are (possibly random chosen) ip address out of our AS3915. see attached netflow graph. We've now blocked the ip address and got over 3.7 million blocks within 10 minutes. I just wrote this issue to the corresponding abuse (abuse(a)subxtreme.net) , a provider in Brazil as i know so far. Thanks for any feedback. have a nice weekend, best regards Marco
