WLUG meeting

Details

With increasing cyber security threats, it is high time that we look at how you can bolster the security of your Linux system and how you connect to the outside world. For this purpose, we will have short show and tells lined up (let Peter know if you would like to demo/present as well):

Roger will demo the pfSense firewall and router system based on FreeBSD, complete with a web-based user interface.
A far simpler firewall, ufw (uncomplicated firewall), will be introduced by Peter (command-line and GUI).
Angus will demo Wireguard, the VPN solutation that made it into the Linux kernel (starting with 5.6).

Under traffic light setting Orange, the meeting will be a mix of in-person (requirements: mask, social distancing) and virtual. Under Red, it will be virtual only. In-person meetings will take place in MS4.G.02:
