security and serving over a NIC on LAN side of router
Posted: 24. August 2012 02:24
Hi everybody! Jim here.
is it secure to:
- serve apache up over a LAN side of a standard off-the-shelf router via a 192.168.1.x style address over a 2nd NIC
- open port 80 in the antivirus firewall so it can even get to the LAN or just open things FULL ACCESS for apache httpd
does this trafffic actually go outside to the ISP (I assume the ISP blocks it)?
or does it remain local?
I need a valid answer quickly.
thanks folks.
by the way, bbcode doesn't work for lists.
