Hi all ...

I have been using FreeBSD for almost 5 years, and lately because of the
several attempts to penetrate my system, I have set up ipfw to restrict
access from the outside to my network.

Everything is working quiet well, but I am getting the following log
from ipfw several times:

server /kernel: ipfw: 65435 Deny ICMP:8.0 213.142.81.223 64.4.13.33 out
via tun0

I have been able to understand most of the logs, but this one I just
understand that ICMP is trying to send something out to server
64.4.13.33. but it is saying ICMP:8.0
What that means ?

And why should my server initiate connection without my knowledge ?

Thanks in advance for any information...

Frederico
