Hi, There are volumes of mailing list messages out there on the subject of firewalls, but the solutions for different circumstances are not clear. Your recommendations would be appreciated. I have a simple low-end pentium box I want to do the following: - Firewall (ipfilter or ipfw, comfortable with either one) - One external IP assigned via DHCP (from the ISP) - One internal IP serving as a gateway address for a private class C - NAT sharing to 4-5 hosts on the protected, internal subnet - Inbound port forwarding ...where "port forwarding" means listening on a port on the external interface of the firewall and forwarding to a specified internal host for the rule. I have looked at [ /usr/ports/net/portfwd ] but I am not sure how well/if this works with any of the NAT and firewall implementations. Wondering which components you would use, why - and any caveats. I would be thankful for any references as well. Provided I am successful with this I plan on writing up a procedure in DocBook and and kicking it over to the FreeBSD documentation project.
