One big mistake by my part. like you see below, i was having problems with secure level and ipf, but the problem was this:
My old /etc/rc.conf was: kernel_securelevel=3 But after checking man rc.conf again, is kern_securelevel This way rc.conf dont let freebsd set that variable, now i can run ipf with the secure level 3, thanks to all.
