Personally, I use a hardware firewall, but I have been considering making my system visible to the internet. There are a number of tools and techniques to deal with that, which I am researching, but I haven't yet determined the best approach for me. When I get to the point of changing my IP address to a routable one I will let you know what I did. I do have a block of IP addresses for my business, but I haven't yet poked my head outside the wall, so to speak. Anyone else with some feedback here? I could use some advice also for firewalls suitable for a small business that would allow me to host my own email server, VPN, etc. FWIW, I am running CentOS 5.2.

You can use Firestarter for RH Enterprise 4.0 With Centos 5. I tried it and it worked fine.
