I also didn't find > any man page on "ipfilter" :-( IPFilter is a port; ppp and pppd come with the system. If you're on 2.1.7, you have the -alias'd ppp. (look at the SYNOPSIS on the man page.) > I'm running 2.1.7-RELEASE and just cvsup'ed the ports collection: I > don't find ppp, pppd, or ipfilter there. Oh, it's not in ports, it comes with the binary distribution. > PS: any comparisons on ipfilter vs. ipfw for a newbie to both (but > not networking in general)? I know this provoked a bit of a heated > debate here a while back: I am looking mainly for NAT. Just curious > because I do see an /etc/rc.firewall which uses ipfw, not ipfilter. ipfilter contains the NAT translation software and is a bit more complete; ipfw gives you ip filtering only. If you're looking for true firewall tools you may want to look at the FWTK port.
