A short explanation of this tools:

• Benchmark: Measuring Internet requests and create a picture in your home. It tries to show you how effective NaYaBoh is at your place. Just start it to see how it is used.
  
• Connections: Listing all the computers which are using Internet trough NaYaBoh. Takes no arguments.
  
• Firewall: Block misbehaving or virus infected computers from the Internet. Takes no arguments, is asking options interactive.
  
• Installation Report: See messages from the installation process. Takes no arguments.
• IP config: Change the IP of your internal network. Is asking options interactive. This script is considered very unstable, use with care.
• Load configuration: Read values from /etc/nayaboh.conf. Use this only if you know what you are doing. Also be aware that you need to configure the network interfaces manually.
  
• Proxy Log View: Follow live the requests handled by the proxy. Takes no arguments.

Optional GUI

If you have the GUI package (nayaboh-gui) installed you will find an entry called "NaYaBoh" in the menu.

GUI for NaYaBoh

With this release, the GUI does not provide the full functionality.
Attention to users of Debian Lenny (stable). The gtkperl library seems to be to old, so the GUI may not run. If you use Debian stable you don't need a GUI anyways... so no fix for now. (I am happy if you send me a bugfix for this!)

How does it work?

NaYaBoh is using several techniques to speed up your internet:

• It caches web content like pictures, style-sheets, etc. Whenever a page is accessed the second time NaYaBoh will deliver web-content directly. NaYaBoh is using the squid software to do this.
• It blocks advertisement and by doing so it prevents unneccessary downloads. NaYaBoh is using the adzapper software to achieve this.
• It caches your DNS requests and answers them diectly. NaYaBoh is using dnsmasq to do so.

Furthermore NaYaBoh eases network management by providing a DHCP server. So that all you computers will get their network configuration (e.g. IP) automatically.
