-Gateway README
-==============
-
-Under the heading of Gateway are a number of services that provide dhcp addresses and NAT to the lan 
-and filter wan access both in terms of content and bandwidth.
-
-LAN
----
-
-The LAN is managed by the dhcpd service and by iptables.  The configuration of iptables is complicated
-and works as follows:
-
-/etc/systemd/system/iptables.service calls 
-/etc/sysconfig/iptables-config which calls 
-/usr/bin/iiab-gen-iptables
-and saves the resultant configuration to /etc/sysconfig/iptables
-it then supplies additional rules to iptables
-
-As of March 2014 the following files are obsolete
-
-/etc/sysconfig/olpc-scripts/iptables-xs 
-
-/etc/sysconfig/olpc-scripts/ip6tables-xs
-
-Filters
--------
-
-Content is filtered by squid and dansguardian and there are ansible variables that control them.
-
-There is a white list file, sites.whitelist.txt.  URL patterns not in this file will not be accessible.
-
-An additional rule to block https has been added to iptables, also controlled by an ansible variable.
-
-**N.B. https blocking and whitelist checking are disabled by default**
-
-To enable whitelist checking and/or https blocking edit 
-
-#Gateway Filters
-gw_squid_whitelist: False
-gw_block_https: False
-
-changing False to True where appropriate and then run runtags facts, gateway 
-
-Bandwidth is filtered by wondershaper.
