I posted this to the freebsd-security list, but i believe that is not the right list to this question (sorry! this is my first message to the freebsd mailing-lists). I hope this is the right list! :) anyway:
I tried making a firewall for my laptop..but i'm not sure if i forgot anything. And things can always be done better :) I'm not sure what i should've put under incoming connections... what i have put there now is pretty useless because the default is to deny, but should i accept any incoming connections that don't match the dynamic rules? I just want to be able to surf the internet without too much trouble and send e-mail and pretty much deny everything else. If someone would have the time to have a quick look at this to see if there's anything wrong with it i would really appreciate it!
