I'm looking for some general advice on how to set up a firewall and NAT for a home network. My requirements are pretty simple. I have a FreeBSD box with two NICs, one connected to the internet via cable modem and the other to an internal network on which there are two Macs. My external IP is assigned by DHCP. I'm not running any services that I want accessible to external users, or any from which I'd want to block internal users. To set this up under Linux, I use a script called pmfirewall which asks questions about the network, which services you want available to whom, etc., and then generates a set of IPCHAINS rules. 1. Is there something comparable for FreeBSD (i.e., a simple front-end for NATD and ipfw)? 2. Am I correct in thinking that I'll need to recompile the kernel to enable the IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT options? 3. Do you know of any introductory tutorials for mere mortals who need a basic FreeBSD firewall? Thanks.
