Im new at this, and this is my first contribution to this great = mailinglist. :-) My problem is that i really cant decide wich type of firewall i shall = use, by reading this mailinglist, and the FreeBSD handbook i realize = that Ipfw is some kind of defactostandard in the FreeBSD world. But in otherhand, friend=B4s to me is pointing that IPFILTER is a better = choice. ( yes i know that it depends on my ruleset how secure the firewalls = will be ) Im so confused, plese let me know your thoughts about this. Thank you very much for your attention=20 / Andre Thomasson aka Mempheria
