Hello, I'm just wondering if most web servers don't run a firewall? We've setup a FreeBSD web server without ipfw running, and I don't really see any reason to run ipfw since the only services I have running are httpd and sshd. We have also attempted to secure the machine in the other typical ways. Are there vulnerabilities that this web server is open to by not running a firewall?
