[https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ipfw&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-release-ports IPFW] or ipfirewall is an internet-protocol-firewall  written for FreeBSD.

The ipfw system facility allows filtering, redirecting, and other operations on IP packets travelling through network interfaces.

A firewall configuration, or ruleset, is made of a list of rules numbered    from 1 to 65535.  Packets are passed to the firewall from a number of    different places in the protocol stack (depending on the source and destination of the packet, it is possible for the firewall to be invoked    multiple times on the same packet).  The packet passed to the firewall is    compared against each of the rules in the ruleset, in rule-number order    (multiple rules with the same number are permitted, in which case they    are processed in order of insertion).  When a match is found, the action    corresponding to the matching rule is performed.

Welcome to Icon Disti GhostBSD.png Firewall.

Introduction[edit]

IPFW or ipfirewall is an internet-protocol-firewall written for FreeBSD. The ipfw system facility allows filtering, redirecting, and other operations on IP packets travelling through network interfaces. A firewall configuration, or ruleset, is made of a list of rules numbered from 1 to 65535. Packets are passed to the firewall from a number of different places in the protocol stack (depending on the source and destination of the packet, it is possible for the firewall to be invoked multiple times on the same packet). The packet passed to the firewall is compared against each of the rules in the ruleset, in rule-number order (multiple rules with the same number are permitted, in which case they are processed in order of insertion). When a match is found, the action corresponding to the matching rule is performed.


IPFW on GhostBSD[edit]

On GhostBSD ipfw is managed by OpenRC.

Dialog-warning.png Attention: Please do not use FreeBSD firewall guidance on the FreeBSD handbook.

IPFW is already setup to default: Set ipfw to default accept
If you run rc-update it shows all running services, ipfw included.


OpenRC manages how ipfw (/etc/init.d/ipfw) configuration is initialized.

The old way defined by TrueOS allows you to define the firewall rules via a /etc/ipfw.conf file. You have to create that file as it does not exist by default.

However, OpenRC (main branch) defines the firewall rules within the /etc/ipfw.rules file itself.
If the file does not exist on GhostBSD you have to create it.

See examples:
