Hey everyone, now that Linux 2.4 actually uses stateful firewalling, as opposed to ipchains (which was fun, easy to set up, and had some interesting modules), I'm looking to finally figure out FreeBSD firewalling efficiently so that I can do it the right way, since there's really no reason not to at this point. I know there are a couple of FreeBSD afficiendos on this list, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. I've been going over firewalling and NAT in the handbook. I'm curious, what's the difference between the kernel config for IPFIREWALL_FORWARD and IPDIVERT? The handbook, rc.firewall, rc.conf, and LINT kernel config only mention divert in their examples, and there's nothing about forward at all, which claims to "#enable transparent proxy support." Ideas, suggestions, etc.? Brian J. Conway dogbert at clue4all.net Geek for hire: http://clue4all.net/resume Men may control the free world, but women control the boobs.
