This is my rc.conf with ipf (ipfilter) firewall.


# Bring up the ipfilter software
ipfilter_enable="YES"
ipmon_enable="YES" # Start IP monitor log
ipmon_flags="-D -f /var/log/ipf.log"

## Tell ipfilter where to get its rules
ipfilter_rules="/etc/ipf.rules"

#Enable ipnat
ipnat_enable="YES"

#Tell ipnat where to get its rules
ipnat_rules="/etc/ipnat.rules"
