The following is a list of various solutions that Blueoak has implemented. Blueoak uses Open Source solutions whenever it's feasible. What makes Open Source successful is people giving back. We're giving back!

• Linux
• Wakenet - a non-profit, non-commercial WISP.
• Reporting iptables exceptions using logwatch -- logwatch and iptables

• HOWTO Linux Firewall/Gateway -- An extremely easy, cookbook-like, step-by-step instructions on how to build your own Linux firewall/gateway using an old PC. The how-to is based on RH 7.3 but can be used by any packaged release of Linux.

  Besides acting as a firewall/gateway, the server also has the following services:

  • Web Server
  • DNS cache-only server
  • time server
  • email server
  • Samba server

  Change log:

  • Firewall script updated on Oct 26, 2002 - to remove a security hole.
  • Firewall script updated on Mar 11, 2003 - PPP connections made easy.
  • May 27, 2003 - Added an Apache 2.x configuration file
