How to allow connections only from selected machines in the home network
Hi all
I plan to share the home network (lan and wireless) with other people, however I do not want that this other people can access my machine, data, disk, etc. Ideally there would be a way to configure the firewall or something similar to only accept connections from a list of specified machines.
E.g. If my machines are called A, B, C, and the other machines in the same network are called D, E, then I would allow A to only accept incoming and out coming connections from B,C. B from A, C. C from A, B.
Basically it is like protecting a sub-network consisting of A, B, C from the other machines (D, E) which are part of the home network. I want to be very conservative, excluding all possible interactions between (A,B,C) and (D,E), as if D and E would not belong to the home network.
How could this be done?
Thanks mannaggia
This is more an administrative question than a Fedora troubleshooting question. Are you running Fedora/Linux because whatever answers you get here will probably be specific to Fedora.
