General Questions

Hi there

I have just downloaded the image to install my first installation of Monowall. From what I have read, there are alot of many happy users out there which it is encouraging.

My question is that will Monowall work well with Censornet.

I am wanting set up a network in a small housing development of about 20 homes. I thought of using Monowall as my firewall and censornet as the proxy. I was about to try IPCOP, but came across this site and hence my first post.

Direct all your browsers to the Censornet box, and have it route through the m0n0wall. See their Bridging with IPCOP example: http://www.censornet.com/support/diags.php

If you wish, you can force all port 80 traffic through the Censornet box using some code like this in your config.xml on the m0n0wall where 192.168.1.x is the IP of your Censornet.

Search the mailing list archives for dansguardian, a similar product I believe.

Thanks for the reply, 

I will check it out and post if I have any further queries.
