Thinking of using FreeBSD to provide IP masqurading within my home
network. Can FreeBSD be setup and used as a Proxy Server and If so, are
there any FAQ's to how to do it? I'm running FreeBSD version 2.2.5...

Thanks, Jeff

There are two ways:
1. natd ( look it in ports )
2. ipfilter - complete box with fine firewall,ipnat ( All that you need
) and redirector.

I would refer to the www.awfulhak.org pages. I used them to set up my
connection to ibm.net (!) yesterday. Using the ppp.conf examples that
Mr. Somers has on-line, I got my connection to the global ISP network up and
running on the first try!

I am using my PPP client to perform IP masquerading/aliasing. It works
rather well. If you don't like IIJ-PPP's support for aliasing, you could
always use natd to do the job. In order to use natd, however, your kernel
needs to be compiled with firewall and divert sockets support.

Check out the ppp man page on your system for lots of info.

Well, natd & ppp use exactly the same code, and have the same
options :-) So it shouldn't be possible to ``prefer'' natd.

Check out the "alias" command description - the different subcommands
are remarkably like the options to natd ;-)

The third way, if your only desire is to proxy WWW and email: use
squid for the WWW proxy, and sendmail for the mail proxy. No actual
address translation required.

cheers, J"org

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
