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.
