We’re glad to let you know that HowtoForge has published the article “Using eBox As A Gateway: Firewall, Traffic Shaping, HTTP Proxy And More”. This tutorial shows you step by step how to use eBox as a Gateway, featuring network configuration, load balancing between two Internet connections with WAN failover and multigateway rules for policy routing, traffic shaping, DHCP and DNS cache for the LAN network and HTTP proxy with different content filtering policies and antivirus.
The described scenario could be a typical Gateway deployment in a production environment like in a high school or a company with a maximum of 250 users with strict content filtering requirements and multiple Internet connections. The tutorial will guide you step by step how to configure two Internet routers with a network card for each one.
