ugh... IPFW is BSD buddy - aaamr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I find the shorewall (http://www.shorewall.net) does all that I need, and it's easy to configure once you get the hang of it.
Beats editing iptables scripts directly. ugh. - thotpoizn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0FYI, if you find the syntax of iptables daunting, you might want to have a look at FWBUILDER. It's a very nice front-end for managing firewalls, and I find it especially convenient to have a centralized location where I can look at, make changes and then deploy them, to any of the iptables systems I manage. See http://www.fwbuilder.org/ for more info...

Because (with just one computer) if you screw up IPtables you're not going to be able to get a connection to search webpages for help on how to fix your problem.

The most useful part of this is page 4... and only in the print-only version (the column is much too narrow for this sort of information density). - Lexx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this is not helpful at all, why was this even dug, if I wanted random sites about iptables I can google, folks

- ptree, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://www.iptablesrocks.org/ is a great intro tutorial.
- phraud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Here is a good link for learning IPTables, getting example scripts, as well as links to several other things that people have posted above.
- anirudhvr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The tldp has tons of HOWTOs on iptables - I especially like IP Masquerade - HOWTO (http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/ )... I use it to share a lone internet connection (no router) with others by turning my laptop into a sort of router (NATing and forwarding all packets on my wireless interface to my ethernet, which is connected to the internet).
