minimal firewall computer
Hi all,
I have a 2 MBit DSL connection at home and I have more or less classical
scheme ISP <-> DSL Modem <-> Router <-> home desktop & laptops. Since
recently somebody hacked into my windowz computer I started thinking of
adding a firewall. Since connecting my desktop between the router and
the modem is not an option (it must run windowz due to other members of
my family), I am thinking of buying the cheapest possible second hand
computer which still has two free PCI slots on which to install minimal
Debian (no graphics, only firewall), plug two 10/100 Ethernet cards and
add it in my scheme like this:
ISP <-> DSL Modem <-> Firewall <-> Router <-> home desktop & laptops
The question is actually what is the minimal CPU/RAM/HDD requirement for
this PC? And do you think this is the optimal solution for an intrusion
protection of a small home LAN?
Cheers,
Ivan

I have used same system in my home and i have used Celeron 133 Mhz,32 MB SD-Ram,2 ethernet card,1.2 and 2.1 Gb HDD for firewall(iptables for local LAN and WAN) and other some services.Its enought for me.I haven't got a problem.

I use Bit Tornado, but the GUI ma be a bit minimalistic. I use it
through ssh, so the curses front-end option is great for me.

You won't need a seperate router. The Debian box you are going to use as a

If you're _really_ focused on _optimal_ security, a case could be made
for running OpenBSD on your firewall/router. I've tried it on my 486
and it installs likidy-split; the install memory/disk requirements are
lighter than debian etch. OBSD documentation is excellent as is the
support (if you ask intelegent questions).

That was supposed to be 2G. Don't know where 20M came from. Wouldn't be
hard, though (and it isn't running Etch).

I'm not convinced that it is really more secure (except perhaps through
obscurity).

You can *easily* run a Potato firewall/router on a 200MB HDD. ssh,

Most "home market" routers should also have built-in firewall and
dhcp functionality. US$50 at any big mail-order store like NewEgg.

Hi,
Wireless routers such as the venerable Linksys WRT54GL can use
3rd-party firmware like OpenWRT and voilá... instant Linux router
(with iptables and such).

Some, like the Netgear DG834, is already running Linux with iptables.

I used to use qtorrent, and I really liked it. I prefer minimal though
(and now I use aria2, which is fantastic --it's as minimal as it
gets.) Perhaps bittornado-gui, or maybe bittorrent-gui, would be good
for you.

Ktorrent is working for me fine. No crashing. You can use transmission.
It's simple. It doesn't have many options like other clients have. But
it works.

2 MB/s ethernet can be handled by an ISA bus if you can get somewhat
decent NICs. I've used a 486DX4-100 with 32 MB ram as a file server and
as a firewall (at various times).
Debian's base install keeps getting bigger but you need less than 1GB of
drive space (my PII X terminal has 850 MB) and 32MB ram (48 MB if you
actually want the debian installer to run). Install base (don't select
any packages), then get shorwall (put shorewall-doc on your desktop),
rsync, and ssh-server.
Also, what does your router do? If you're building a firewall, it could
also serve as router (unless you'd then have to go out and buy an
ethernet switch).
Good luck.
Doug.

I don't know the windows clients, but have you tried Azureus? It's
available for Windows, Linux and OSX, and it is in the Debian repo.
I have not tried the 3.x branch, but the 2.5 branch has enough switches
to keep you fiddling for weeks...

uTorrent in WINE which has an annoying habit of locking up.
ktorrent which, here at least, has run for weeks at a time no problem.
Azureus which is a bloating pig because, for some reason, they though JAVA
was a viable platform to program anything.
Working backwards, Azureus often takes up 300Mb of RAM and 100% of the CPU
all the time. Compared to a GTK/Python with a similar feature set using maybe
30Mb and 10-40% of the CPU. Compared to uTorrent in WINE taking up about 12Mb
and barely a blip on the CPU. ktorrent is about as good as the defunct
GTK/Python app.

I like freeloader. You need to find your own torrents, but once you
do, it actually works like a charm. (The only torrent app I've been
able to get working on a consistent basis. The other are too
complicated for my tastes.)
Description: A nice GNOME download manager supporting torrents
Freeloader is a nice GNOME download manager written in Python
and supporting torrents. Its main features are:
* Support for BitTorrent files
* Command line control
* File system monitoring
* Sorting by status or progress
* Preferences saved in GConf
* Drag and drop URLs or Torrents into main window or tray
* Support for retrieval from most URLs (ftp, http, etc)
* Support for hiding in system tray
* Interruptible downloads

Don't know about a Winbloz look alike, but you might give the azureus
package a try. It is a 'big' package, 7Meg, but has all the eye candy
you would want.

When I need a torrent app I have always used the good old bittorrent on the
terminal. I guess it's not pretty (it's not bad though), but it works
wonderfully.

Not sure what utorrent looks like but I have also used ktorrent on a few
occasions and it also worked well, and it looks nice. It has never crashed
here so I'm not sure what the problem could be.

rtorrent works well, with a ncurses interface and session management.
It's faster than all the rest in my experience.

Seconded. What kept me from using rtorrent (and kept me stuck on
azureus) for a while was the lack of documentation accessible to
non-geeks, which is so often a problem with Linux apps in general. But
after it had been around awhile and started catching on, mercifully
various and sundry bloggers and the like posted more accessible how-to's
that explained various features in plain English. I've been using it
exclusively for about 3 months and have found it fast, stable, and
minimal in terms of the resources it uses but not in terms of the
features it offers.
Between aptitude, mc, rtorrent, cplay, and one or two others, I'm
developing a real fondness for ncurses apps. In general, I find it
easier to use them for managing the tasks at hand than the bare command
line, and nearly as capable as both CL and GUI alternatives with far
less bloat than the latter. But that's only when developers or helpers
take the time to explain their usage, with examples, in jargon-free
language intended for ordinary users.

I haven't used it a lot yet, but transmission seem pretty good so far.
It's available in the Debian repo.

One good thing about "transmission" (which I am not sure if it is
present on "rtorrent") is that it features peer exchange, which seems to
be an extension of Azureus to the bittorrent protocol.
Can anybody tell me if rtorrent has Distributed Hashtables (DHT), UPnP,
and peer exchange? If it has those features, I would have no need for
other clients.

Not that I can see. Ktorrent does though.
- uTorrent compatible peer exchange
- Port forwarding with UPnP
- Support for distributed hash tables (mainline version)
More info with apt-cache show ktorrent, of course.

Yes, the same thing with me.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough space on my machine to another set of
infra-structure libraries, but it seems that this and amarok are quite
helpful utilities. :-(
Is there anything like screen's detach feature for graphical utilities?
I'd love to use this feature, as I am mostly using my machine at home
via a remote connection.

Thanks for the hint. I didn't know about ktorrent. It seems to be a good
replacement to azureus, when one has to use it.

ktorrent crashed on me only when using DHT.
