read more here.

The article is geared towards people who do not use unix/openBSD on a regular basis and/or the newbie class of user. It pulls in information from other sources to explain some of it's more beardy vagueness.

TdC uses openBSD. It's yummy!

Excellent. My flatmate Steve was looking for something like this.

In this article, I explain to users with little UNIX knowledge and experience how to create an OpenBSD 3.2 firewall using pf (packet filter).

How useful. I'm sure all the OpenBSD users with little UNIX knowledge and experience (total number that exist = 0) will benefit greatly from this article.

Perhaps his followup will be a "guide to becoming proficient at hurdling for the paraplegic"

Simply by burning an OpenBSD ISO to a blank CD, the user is suddenly filled with knowledge of the UNIX operating system.

Isn't that a great system? If only it worked the same with Windows.




Disclaimer : Will does not condone burning a Windows ISO to CD.

strangely it is rather easy. you can learn along the way.




DISCLAIMER: TdC does not condone allowing noobs to set up production firewalls. Sadly, you'd be amazed how many firewalls are indeed set up by noobs.
