Hi, I'm in the process of setting up a few FreeBSD machines that will be sitting on the Internet. I'd like to limit access the IP addresses and ports of these machines but currently putting them behind a dedicated firewall box is not an option. So in this situation does enabling/using IPFirewall just for the local machine make it better/secure than hosts.allow?
