Seattle Firewall
Changes in version 4.0
4.0 Includes some key enhancements:
- Static NAT
You can configure multiple IP addresses on your internet interface and have
Seattle Seawall set up mappings between these addresses and local hosts. See
the NAT documentation for details.
- Proxy ARP
You can connect systems with public IP addresses to a local interface and
have Seattle Seawall act as a firewall for these hosts. See the Proxy
ARP documentation for details.
- Port forward using destination address. You can now configure
multiple IP addresses and use these addresses in setting up port forwarding
rules. See the /etc/seawall/servers
documentation.
- Austrian Telkom subscribers can now use Seattle Firewall. Version
3.3 has added PPTP Internet Interface support. Simply set the internet variable
to the interface that connects to your DSL router (Example:
internet="eth0") and set myip="PPTP".
- There's a new "hits" command in seawall that displays a
report about "Packet log:" messages in the current /var/log/messages
file.
- You can now masquerade an FTP
server without having to have a kernel patch.
- DMZ support is now much more robust.
Version 4.0 also includes bug fixes released in versions 3.2.1, 3.2.2,
3.2.3 and 3.2.4.
