I should install the shorewall firewall. You can download that package with apt-get or aptitude. It is easy to configure and it saves you lot of work with setting up your firewall instead of all those iptables rules if you are not familiar with those.
You configure it by filling in text files. It makes the iptables rules and runs them if you start it.

(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ Hi All,
After following the list and seeing all the problems with security would someone like to give some reasonably detailed advice on what I should be doing to keep myself and others secure.Also what should I check is running from a security viewpoint
Please remember that I am not an expert in either Linux or networking. A step by step how to would be really helpful both to me and presumably the rest of the network.
My set up is simply a raspberry pi running openvpn set up as per the wiki. It connects OK but the only security I am aware of at my end is fail2ban running with very minimalist rules.
The Pi has two Ethernet ports eth0 and eth1 and a wireless access, wlan1. The tunnel is tun0
What should I do to keep secure?
I would also like to comment that the suggestion on the list recently about a basic raspberry pi SD card image for beginners like me, would at least let us participate without compromising the security of the whole network. I am sure it would also encourage greater participation as a whole
