Rule 400 souldn't apply because they > are passed by 300 (this one doens't have a counter :( ). I'm following the example given by ipfw(8). Rule 0400 is apparently supposed to block any non dynamic rules. Does rule 300 have a counter? I've followed both ipfw(8) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/dialup-firewall/rules.h= tml I"m using the example from the article for my pppoe connection at home.=20 > For rule 1400 the dst-port is wronly placed.

I would replace 1400 with: > allow tcp from any to me 22 in > allow tcp from me 22 to any out > No need to have dynamic rules here so place it before 300 This sounds right, it would cut down on overhead of additional dynamic rules. So making public ports rules without dynamic rules is better?=20 Digging in the archives, Matthew Seaman said that dynamic rules should be safer, but I'm not sure if it applies for my case. I'm no security expert, so thanks for the insight. -- FreeBSD 5.2-BETA i386=20 2:24pm up 11:29, 3 users, load averages: 0.22, 0.44, 0.66 --=-OiLsQzIgPXrzqEXiz2mr Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA/yDy3DAqnLW/+/X8RAhCCAKDiXS2gGSXZImUdocgaKm7ZzY+fmACfcUot TiwFl71OLeh3aInV3aMXWgw= =sTGk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-OiLsQzIgPXrzqEXiz2mr--
