Connecting the ZoneCD directly to the Internet

Don't do it! I am receiving more and more complaints and FYI's that spammers are utilizing Squid, or DG to relay spam. This usually results in your ISP shutting you down, or blocking ports. If you have read the setup instructions http://www.publicip.net/devl/setup.php you will notice that i do not recomend connecting the ZoneCD directly to the Internet. Please DO NOT connect the zonecd pc directly to the internet!! The eth0 side of the box should be connected to a LAN, or stick a router out on the Internet then connect the zonecd box to the router. Eth0 has not been hardened to withstand the abuse coming from the Internet.
