最初的這篇“防火牆 - HOWTO”是David Rudderdrig@execpc.com的作品。他讓我在他的原稿上增訂內容,對此我深表感謝。 最近這一陣子, 防火牆(Firewall)成了網際網路的安全問題的熱門話題。但像許多其他熱門話題一樣,這也同時造成了許多人對它的誤解。這篇HOWTO 將會探討什麼是防火牆?如何安裝?何謂代理伺服器(Proxy Server)?如何設定代理伺服器?以及這些技術在安全領域以外的應用。
如果發現這篇文章中有任何錯誤, 請務必通知我。人非聖賢, 孰能無過! 任何錯誤我都樂于更正。來信我都會設法回覆, 但我相當忙, 如果沒有收到我的回信,還請包涵。回信地址markg@netplus.net

我不對任何依照本文所做行為造成的損害負任何責任(I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES INCURRED DUE TO ACTIONS TAKEN BASED ON THIS DOCUMENT) 。這篇文章只介紹防火牆和代理伺服器的作用。要知道,我不是電腦安全問題專家,也從來沒有裝成這方面的專家。我只是個喜歡讀書,而且愛電腦勝過愛人類的傢伙。我希望這篇文章能幫助你熟悉這個主題, 但不保証內容絕對無誤。

儘管去年在comp.os.linux上有許多關于防火牆問題的討論,但我發現很難找到設定防火牆所需的資料。這篇HOWTO的原先版本提供了一些幫助,但內容仍嫌不足。我根據David Rudder編寫的Firewall HOWTO作了增訂,希望這篇文章提供了足夠的資料,使你能在幾小時內就能設定一個可以運作的防火牆,而不再需要花幾星期之久。 我也認為我應該略盡綿力,回報愛好Linux的朋友。
在Trusted Information System (TIS) 網址上收集了許多有關防火牆的文件和相關材料。http://www.tis.com/
此外,我也正在從事一項稱為Linux安全(Secure Linux)的項目。在Secure Linux網址上,我收集了所有使Linux安全可靠的資料、文件和程式。如果你需要這方面的資料,請來信索取。
