I'm setting up a new server, from scratch, and I find that it's always best to review relevant sections of the Handbook when doing so, especially if one hasn't done this fopr a long time, which I haven't.
This page has me a bit puzzled: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls-ipfw.html This page says that the stock ipfw firewall rulesets are as follows: open: passes all traffic. client: protects only this machine. simple: protects the whole network. closed: entirely disables IP traffic except for the loopback interface. workstation: protects only this machine using stateful rules. UNKNOWN: disables the loading of firewall rules. ... I'd just like to know what the differences are between "client" and "simple". Can anyone explain that to me, briefly? _______________________________________________ freebsd-ipfw@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ipfw To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ipfw-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
