If your needs are simple, don't use any full-featured FreeBSD release for a firewall. It's too much time to set up, lock down, and you could probably spend days just tweaking firewall rules if you haven't done it before. Instead, check out m0n0wall, a FreeBSD-based firewall that's been stripped down and rebuilt for the singular purpose of routing packets. http://m0n0.ch/wall/ There's also IPCop, if you're willing to try a Linux-based solution. http://www.ipcop.org -- Charles Ulrich Ideal Solution, LLC - http://www.idealso.com _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
