I'm using ipfw and natd for my home subnet. The FreeBSD box acts as a
gateway to my ADSL connection. I'm using the simple firewall as defined
in rc.firewall. However, some of the default rules are preventing some
services from working. But I don't understand why.
Below are the rules and a description of what they prevent when they are
enabled. If someone could explain why the rule stops what it does, I
would appreciate it.
oif=ed0
# if either of the following two lines are enabled, it stops my Pegasus
# email client from accessing the POP server at my ISP
add deny all from 192.168.0.0:255.255.0.0 to any via ${oif}
add pass tcp from any to any setup
