I am testing it locally basically using nmap. Until I actually get 24/7 online it is a bit difficult to test it from the outside world. I would like to know that if a local test using nmap seems to confirm the intentions of my rules is that good enough ? Thanks. -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
