For security concerns, you might check out Tripwire at:

Linux version is free. Also, you might check out firestarter. There is a

Personally, I wouldn't have a persistent connection without some
security built around it. There are too many bad hackers looking for a
connected machine to do their dirty work for them.

I have not tried to set up a web server, since my IP does actually change on a regular basis.  So far I've been very pleased with speed and connection with @home, but since I live in the sticks I can't speak for the service in a tech-heavy area like Atlanta.

I have a linux box acting as my firewall/IPmasq server that's connected to the cable modem, and all I did was the minimum to get the masquerading working.  I have about 6 machines of various OS's on my internal network that are using the linux box as a gateway (technically against the rules of @home as well).  Any security concerns / suggestions with  a setup like this?
