Everyone is jumping on the Internet bandwagon, despite the fact that the security risks associated with connecting to the Net have never been greater. This book is a practical guide to building Firewalls on the Internet. It describes a variety of Firewall approaches and architectures and discusses how you can build packet filtering and proxying solutions at your site. It also contains a full discussion of how to configure Internet services to work with a Firewall, as well as a complete list of resources, including the location of many publicly available firewall construction tools. Firewalls are a very effective way to protect your system from these Internet security threats. Firewalls in computer networks keep damage on one part of the network (e.g., eavesdropping, a worm program, file damage) from spreading to the rest of the network. Without Firewalls, network security problems can rage out of control, dragging more and more systems down.
