*Hi,* *Sorry I dont get the point of why you got confused. there are 2 firewall in DragonflyBSD*
*PF is a great firewall, it is used in all BSD systems. especially the PF in DragonflyBSD, it is "SMP-Friendly",* *IPFW in DragonflyBSD was inherited from FreeBSD as you know that DragonflyBSD was forked from FreeBSD.* *Personally I prefer IPFW, It is "modular" and "SMP-Friendly". for more detail ,you can get from **http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/ipfw2/ <http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/ipfw2/> and if you send me personally if you have any question about it.* *Regards,* *Bill Yuan* On Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 11:21 PM, Jeremy <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > the Dragonfly handbook states pf is the recommended firewall, yet goes on > to say that the included pf is the older pf & that ipfw has features not > yet available in pf.
