We made a bridge/firewall with OpenBSD and a small pc with 2 nics
There are som good starter-HowTo's on www.openlysecure.org, but it seems to
be down right now hmmmm :-)
Because its a bridge it has no IP and is invisible to the outside.
Once you get it up and running it is easy to configure which ports you want
to open.
