I know one can setup FreeBSD as a firewall and painstakingly create all the necesary rulesets but with Smoothwall, all of the hard work is already done for you and you only need to administer the box by a well designed and easy to use web interface. I think Smoothwall is worth a look, even if you end up creating the same thing in FreeBSD - Now there's a thought?

I think that defeats the purpose of using FreeBSD and learning new things. Firstly, this article. http://bsdvault.net/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=6 is very handy its helped a few people I know setup their first firewalls, and I wish I had it when I setup my first one. Then edit the fwrules file again, and add this $fwcmd add 100 fwd 192.168.1.10,8080 tcp from any to any 80 i /usr/sbin/sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 Which will allow forwarding from port 80 requests to port 8080 on the server with the 192.168.1.10 ip.
