howto provide webserver access from internet
Hi Folks
I have been reading PF material from OpenBSD docs, and the "Book of PF second edition" I am currently writing pf for "machines on my internal network", they currently do not provide any internet services. (connected to the internet via ip provider using DHCP). I am progressing in writing effective pf for each machine and getting good feedback with systat & pfctl commands. I am using a switch to connect my networks various machines connected to an "off the shelf router" to my ip provider. I want to replace the router with a small openbsd box with extra nic cards to connect to my non-dmz network, a new dmz webserver, and of course the ip provider. QUESTION? can i provide dmz webservices to the internet using my ip providers dhcp connection if so, is this accomplished by registerning a "domain name" with a service like dyn dns? - or - do i need a static ip from my ip provider? -or - can pf do this with some kind of nat ext_if? slightly confused. thanks in advance frcc |

The alternative is to lease static IP's from an ISP. Static IP addresses frequently come with a higher charge & require business-level accounts. IP addresses obtained through DHCP do not require business-level accounts. Quote:

thankyou all
it appears that both dynamic and static address pose certain advantages and disadvantages. desired web/network services, cost, security, maintenance etc, need to be thought about. Your answers do answer the initial question....! frcc Last edited by frcc; 20th June 2012 at 02:09 AM. Reason: clarification |
