| I'm about to install a FreeBSD 4.4 box with some firewall and | I need to know | wich one of the freeware firewalls product is the best (IPFW, | IPFilter, | etc), or maybe if you could recomend me a good solution for | this situation: I would say that IPFilter is your best option at the moment. It is very rich in features and I believe it has some NAT-specific functionality built into it, although I've never used the NAT stuff so I can't vouch for it personally. You can also compile to kernel to use both ipfw and ipfilter for the best of both worlds. When you do this, I am not sure which one get's passed the packet first however.
