Hi all, I am new to firewalls and trying to learn. I am attempting to set up a pf firewall on FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p5. This is a home computer for personal use and is not part of a server network. "pkg update" will take a minute or more to complete a verification that it is up to date with the firewall on vs. seconds when the firewall is off. I can find no reason for this. I have done a variety of searches online plus in the various forums with zero results. Any ideas?
This is a simple firewall. Here is my set up: */etc/pf.conf* set skip on lo0 block all pass in proto tcp to port { 22 } pass out proto { tcp udp } to port { 22 53 80 123 443 } pass out inet proto icmp icmp-type { echoreq } */etc/rc.conf* clear_tmp_enable="YES" sendmail_enable="NONE" hostname="donsoptiplex" keymap="us.kbd" ifconfig_em0="DHCP" ifconfig_em0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv" ntpd_enable="YES" # Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable dumpdev="NO" dbus_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" autofs_enable="YES" kld_list="/boot/modules/i915kms.ko" sound_load="YES" snda_hda_load="YES" sddm_enable="NO" cupsd_enable="YES" devfs_system_ruleset="system" pf_enable="YES" pflog_enable="YES" Thanks!! _______________________________________________ freebsd-pf@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-pf To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-pf-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
