Dear kind folks, Is there an easy firewall setup available somewhere(like the one referenced below but for FreeBSD)? i.e, like I saw reading in Distrowatch an easy way(using a page on the net: http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/efg/) I have read that there is pf and there is an implementation by OpenBSD and both are available on FreeBSD via ports system/packages. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html I don't know which one to use, is there a page, howto (build a firewall or convert an existing one) to use here? All I want is to be allowed to visit websites but don't allow anyone out there to come in somehow a template that I can use and try out to see if I can get it working. Of course the network name might be different, but I can try to figure things out. ne0, fe0, ra0, ..., etc After figuring this out, my next big job/task is to use FreeBSD to make up a new router/dhcp server to give/assign ip numbers to machines from one and give to many. This has been something hard that I have failed at several times. Maybe with FreeBSD I can be successfull? Thanks, Antonio
