Hi,

I'm running FreeBSD 6.2 and setting it up as a network router/firewall.

It has 3 nics, two of internal network (one is wireless, other is LAN) and
third is to the internets.

I plan on using NAT so both internal networks can get to the internets.

In the FreeBSD documentation I see there are 3 firewalls, IPFIREWALL,
IPFILTER and PF (BF?).   I just need to do basic filtering and just a few
port forwards.  Nothing to fancy.  Which one would be recommended?

Also some time ago, I seen that there was a graphical tool for doing
firewall rules and would output into different formats.  Anyone know what
that tools is called? (ie. just a little app that outputs a text file
depending on what firewall you select as the option).

Thanks!
