Which firewall you select to use should be based on your level of understanding of how information is moved across the internet. Ipfilter is best suited for people who are just learning about firewalling. PF is a little more automated and the rules are very close to IPF's. IPFW is for the advanced firewall users who have expert understanding of the internet. All 3 firewalls support stateful rules and are available in the 5.4 release. Best advice is start with Ipfilter and when you find out that you have needs which are not met by Ipfilter then move over to IPFW. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Khanh Cao Van Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 9:33 AM To: freebsd-questions Subject: firewall on freebsd I'm going to learn about the freebsd firewall .
