The handbook firewall section is in the process of being updated. You can get a copy from http://freebsd.a1poweruser.com:6088/FBSD_firewall/ Everything you wrote about is covered in detail. Give it a look see. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Jonathan Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 2004 10:00 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: IPFW Configuration Hello, I am sort of a newbie to IPFW for FreeBSD-5.2.1. I have never used it and need some help with the configuration. Ok here goes if anyone can help. I compiled IPFIREWALL into the kernel with the options to DEFAULT TO ACCEPT ALL and the VERBOSE=50 option. With the support for IPFW in the kernel I then added firewall_enable=off to the rc.conf (with some other options that are commented out at the moment). The reason for having the firewall off right now is because i was told that rc.firewall in /etc needed to be configured for my network card (or IP addresses) before it will be able to work. My box is located at a datacebter and my box is allocated with about 90 IP addresses (and also the main server IP which was given to me when i first purchased the line). I would like to know how to configure /etc/rc.firewall to support my MAIN ip and also how to make sure the other IPS added to my box are recognized and protected by the firewall. Also I noticed in rc.firewall there are different modes to put the firewall in like simple mode, client mode, etc. (different firewall powers i guess). It would be greatly appreciated if someone can show me how to configure ipfw. I could not thank anyone more for the future help i might recieve on this issue. If you guys need a copy of rc.conf or rc.firewall in order to help just email me and i will provide an attachment.
