If you trust things you build yourself, then yes, you can trust a firewall. Look into using ipfw (it's in the handbook) and the TIS fwtk (it's in the ports). Note that a firewall is much more than the utilities used to implement it. You need to set up security policies and configure your firewall accordingly. You may want to take a look at: Firewalls and Internet Security: Repelling the Wily Hacker W. R. Cheswick and S. M.
