Hi folks, hope everybody is safe and sound.
This may be a basic question for most of you, but at any rate, I would
rather ask here as I like the way MUUG members approach things.
I have a Shaw connection with a few Static IPs. As of now the modem is
bridged, and each machine grabs its own IP and goes to town, be it a
static for servers or a dynamic for my local network router. On each of
these, I set up firewall and whatever else is needed.
I have the feeling that's redundant. That, and having a main router in
front of them would help me set up things such as QoS and a central
firewall.
I am used to doing this for simple NAT duties, but this time I would
have a router managing public facing IP addresses.
Any tips on what should I look for to get started?
Thanks!
