I am setting up a firewall for a gateway/router running FreeBSD 4.10.
This is for a small home LAN.
I have already compiled and installed a custom kernel with the IPFIREWALL
and IPDIVERT options and configured the firewall to pass any to any without
any problems - now it's time to start locking it down.
I would like to use the firewall_type="SIMPLE" option rc.conf. But I'm not
sure how I should set up my external nic in /etc/rc.firewall, i.e:
# set these to your outside interface network and netmask and ip
oif="ed0"
onet="192.0.2.0"
omask="255.255.255.240"
oip="192.0.2.1"
My outside interface is connected to a cable modem and is configured for
DHCP
Without a static IP address for my outside interface, how do I set these
options?
TIA for your help.
