I am attempting to set up a firewall using IPFW with a stateful behavior. While I have investigated how to set up these rules, I have run into conflicting opinions as to whether to all or deny "established" behavior.
EXAMPLE: (preceded by a "checkstate" rule) allow tcp from any to any established Some documentation states that it should be denied and others say it should be allowed. Neither has given me a convincing reason to follow either scenario or any real documentation either for that fact. If possible, could someone with some real firewall knowledge and familiarity with IPFW please give me some advice. Thanks! -- Carmel ✌ [email protected] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
