Re: Smoothwall setup

What are you trying to accomplish?

trying to block improper internet usage, on-line social networking on
work hours, etc.

My winnipeg office has an older existing smoothwall 2.0 installed, i was
impressed with its subscription blocking lists, and logging abilities.

As another thought, if the smoothwall was installed outside the router,
can a hardware vpn connection be port forwarded ? or is there more to a
hardware vpn connection than that ?
