Yes, FreeBSD's base system brings the IPFW firewall that can be used to block IPs, ranges of IPs or lists. Also PF can be used for that purpose. Still I'm not sure in how far there are GUI applications that help you controlling those system-level tools. For most uses, automated solutions without any UI at all are widely preferred. See "man ipfw" for details. There are also other tools to help with blocking SSH brute force attacks or unwanted FTP connection attempts from unauthorized IPs. There are good automating mechanisms in those tools. Those tools are available from FreeBSD's ports collection. Is this what you had in mind? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
