Re: Firewall
GhostBSD doesn't ship with a firewall, (you can choose among several available in FreeBSD),
pf is one commonly used in FreeBSD
place in /etc/rc.conf:
and customize your filters as fit your needs, below an example from pf.conf man page, that basically allow any traffic going outside and only traffic on port 25 inward.
Hope that help, even if I'm not sure this is what you would have read.

place in /etc/rc.conf:
Code: Select all
pf_enable="YES"
Code: Select all
ext_if = "kue0"
all_ifs = "{" $ext_if lo0 "}"
pass out on $ext_if from any to any
pass in on $ext_if proto tcp from any to any port 25

Re: Firewall
Yes, that's exactly what I needed.
But in what file to put these rules ? Should I create a pf.conf ?

Re: Firewall
My /etc/pf.conf file was empty so i just added those rules to the empty /etc/pf.conf file and save it. Was it right or is it another way to add the rules?ASX wrote: ↑Mon Sep 12, 2016 7:28 pmGhostBSD doesn't ship with a firewall, (you can choose among several available in FreeBSD),
