1 NIC configuration can be used as a web proxy / cache solution, not a
firewall.

Yes. Anything with less than 2 interfaces is not a firewall.

how to
connect it to internet via dsl modem or router ?

One NIC becomes your external interface -- connect it directly to your
DSL
router.
Other NIC is your internal interface -- connect it to your LAN switch.

Make sure that the IP addresses on both interfaces are separate subnets.


i did allow all
inbound and outbound protocols but still it won;t connected.

Pls state exactly what is the problem
