Greetings, i am just trying to get a good firewall set-up. I do not need to offer any online services, i read email and surf, so i need outoing access but no incomming.(i also upload files via ftp and ssh to another server) My distro is Yellow Dog Linux kernel 2.4.10-12a. i have downloaded iptables-1.2.5, from http://netfilter.samba.org/downloads.html#1.2.5 and read the README INSTALL file, which for my limited knowledge is not especially helpful.
I understand that my kernel has been compiled to run iptables (it has the nesessary modules) so i just need the package, which i just downloaded.
can anyone guide me through how to do this? (i.e install iptables and get a basic set-up)?
thank you for your time.
