Hi, I have a local network and lately I've been running a webcam program on a windows box. My firewall/nat box and 2 others are fBSD boxes. The program (Camarades) works as a server on a specific port, so on my firewall (using ipf) I allow access to that port and forward it to the box running the cam. Works fine, but once in a while someone's nice enough to harress me, so I've made a small script so that I can easily add such IP#s to my ipf.rules and lock them out, restart ipf and they can't connect anymore. It works but I 'm wondering if there are any generic provisions in fBSD to do this. Since its not a standard service I figured I couldn't use hosts.allow. Any thoughts?
