Thanks
Your guide learn me many thing .my experience with FreeBSD and OpenBSD is
good .but my experience with FreeBSD is much better . In work place I run
FreeBSD server for Samba and NAT and this server work good and work like
charm , but I do not know why PF does not work good , if you see my conf ,
you see my conf does not has problem , but I do not know why this conf does
not work good , and sometimes some users do not have internet and can not
browse webpage but they can chat with messenger .
I want migrate from FreeBSD to OpenBSD , yesterday I install OpenBSD 5
amd64 and run samba server with OpenBSD and it work good . In first step I
run samba server with OpenBSD , and after this I want run NAT server with
OpenBSD . And for start I want understand , is my PF.conf work in OpenBSD
or no ?
I hate Windows OS , and want only run all of my servers with BSD, specially
OpenBSD.
Thanks in advance
