That article describes FreeBSD 5.1, which probably means it's a couple of years old at least. Also, it describes IPFW, which is a bit more cumbersome to config than PF. Unless I'm terribly mistaken, running PF on recent FreeBSDs does not require a kernel recompile. My suggestion is that if you want to run PF on your FreeBSD box, you're better off browsing http://home.nuug.no/~peter/pf/, and you'll figure out rather easily what you need to do. (Yes, that's a tutorial I wrote and update occasionally). -- Peter N. M.
