What does matter is which of them is best the *for You*. As for me I use ipf and ipfw together. I think ipf is very easy to configure but ipfw has more sophisticated features, for instance it can be used for bandwith controlling via dummynet facility. As for pf, I don't know it. > > Cheers, > > Gábor Kövesdán > Thanks Gabor, I thought so. What i read, i should prefer ipf. What i also would like to know, whether there someting, the freebsd-world calls "standard"? I mean, the title of this list is freebsd-ipfw ;-) Roger
