Hi,
I'm running FreeBSD 6.2 and setting it up as a network router/firewall.
It has 3 nics, two of internal network (one is wireless, other is LAN) and
third is to the internets.
I plan on using NAT so both internal networks can get to the internets.
In the FreeBSD documentation I see there are 3 firewalls, IPFIREWALL,
IPFILTER and PF (BF?). I just need to do basic filtering and just a few
port forwards. Nothing to fancy. Which one would be recommended?
Also some time ago, I seen that there was a graphical tool for doing
firewall rules and would output into different formats. Anyone know what
that tools is called? (ie. just a little app that outputs a text file
depending on what firewall you select as the option).
Thanks!
The graphical tool you are thinking of is probably Firewall Builder (http://www.fwbuilder.org), it is also in ports (security/fwbuilder). Firewall builder will 'compile'/generate rules for any of the FreeBSD firewalls you mentioned. Personally I would use PF but I guess there are arguments for using each one in different scenario's.
