Both project info on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipfilter/) and wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPFilter) point at the place which apparently doesn't exist so you end up getting just front page of the university: http://asiapacific.anu.edu.au/ ... One does want to read the documentation to be able to keep using ipfilter on FreBSD 10.x (as one did on FreeBSD 9.x in the past). And with syntax changed, one does have to read Documentation (and here brilliant FreeBSD documentation seems to be outdated...) Thanks a lot for your answers!
