Archived from groups: comp.security.firewalls (More info?)
Say I'm going to use OpenBSD to build a firewall, and I'm intended to
proxy HTTP, FTP, POP3, IMAP, MSN, ICQ, rsync and cvs through.
I can find proxies for HTTP, FTP, MSN, ICQ, POP3 and IMAP, but setting
up all these proxy seems to be a lot of work.
I'm thinking of doing this transparently, so would it make sense if I
simply just use specific proxies with HTTP, FTP, MSN and ICQ, and then
simply use SOCKS5 proxy to handle the rest?
