I am sitting on a DHCP connection at home. I decided to turn log_in_vain on. I figured I would just see what would happen. To my surprise, I actully am getting people trying to connect to my box. Since I have no idea why folks are doing this, I am assuming mistakes, I would like to set up a firewall for safety. I have read articles saying to enable natd and the FreeBSD OS firewall. I only have one machine and dont need any address translation. Is there a way to enable the OS firewall and have a dynamic IP without using natd? Should I use a diff firewall from the ports? Is it common to have a firewall on a home computer attached to a cable modem? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
