Just out of curiosity, I see a lot of people here use Linux IPTables as their firewall.
Anyone here use something else like OpenBSD PF or *BSD IPF, IPFW?
I'm quite fond of OpenBSD and their Packet Filters. I find their syntax much easier to manage and from my personal experience, I find them... (5 Replies)
Would it be possible to restrict access to internet pages in the following way?
A machine:
IP = 128.1.17.123
Only pages from domains of the type "go.jp" and "ne.jp" are viewable. All others are not viewable or only partly viewable.
B machine:
IP = 128.1.17.146
Regardless of the domain... (4 Replies)
If I have a redirect ruleset do I need to allow those ports as well?
I.e., if I have this:
rdr on $ext proto tcp from any to ($ext) port 22 -> 10.0.0.87 port 12345
Do I need this?
pass in on $ext proto tcp from any to ($ext) port 22 (1 Reply)
Hi,
I really do not know how to describe this problem; but, I think it's a firewall
issue. My Distro is Slackware 12.0 (somewhat updated).
My company firewall uses Netfilter and the e-mail server uses Sendmail.
Let's say the firewall's Ext IP = A and Internal DMZ IP = B.
The firewall's... (0 Replies)
Dear All
I have put my windows machine behind my centos firewall server with just one NIC. At now, the windows machine can ping 192.9.9.3 but cannot resolve valid url (like www.google.com). I have set DNS for it as well. Can you please let me know what is the missing step?
Thank you (6 Replies)

IPFW(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual IPFW(4)NAME
ipfw -- IP packet filter and traffic accounting
SYNOPSIS
To compile ipfw into the kernel, place the following option in the kernel configuration file:
options IPFIREWALL
Other kernel options related to ipfw which may also be useful are:
options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100
To load ipfw as a module at boot time, add the following line into the loader.conf(5) file:
ipfw_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The ipfw system facility allows filtering, redirecting, and other operations on IP packets travelling through network interfaces.
The default behavior of ipfw is to block all incoming and outgoing traffic. This behavior can be modified, to allow all traffic through the
ipfw firewall by default, by enabling the IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT kernel option. This option may be useful when configuring ipfw for
the first time. If the default ipfw behavior is to allow everything, it is easier to cope with firewall-tuning mistakes which may acciden-
tally block all traffic.
To enable logging of packets passing through ipfw, enable the IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE kernel option. The IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT option will
prevent syslogd(8) from flooding system logs or causing local Denial of Service. This option may be set to the number of packets which will
be logged on a per-entry basis before the entry is rate-limited.
Policy routing and transparent forwarding features of ipfw can be enabled by IPFIREWALL_FORWARD kernel option.
The user interface for ipfw is implemented by the ipfw(8) utility, so please refer to the ipfw(8) manpage for a complete description of the
ipfw capabilities and how to use it.
