I am budiling a web server. Since it is ina remote data center wher I do not contrl the router I prefer I to build firewall on the www server. APF http://www.rfxnetworks.com/apf.php very popular firewall in the linux world.

I found a lot of tutorials but for FreeBSD as router. First, are you building a firewall or a web server? If you're building a firewall, you don't want to run any services like WWW at all on the machine. If you're building a web server, you're probably not going to be routing traffic, no-- to corresponds to your second remark. > Some commented premade script with comments will also do the job. > I was plannding to use APF, but I am afarid to install it on FreeBSD > without good tutorial.
