It's hard to say since you didn't specify where you were testing it from. Are you sure you weren't hitting it through tun0 which you allowed? If it's allowed and not showing up as logged, you should be able to see which rule is allowing traffic. ipfw zero ipfw show Keep hitting it a few times...

While not a solution for your problem, if you don't require clang, put WITHOUT_CLANG=1 in /etc/src.conf and see if that sidesteps the problem. Also make sure /usr/obj is empty before buildworld starts.

The first board has an intel chipset for networking. I won't go so far as to say avoid realtek, but intel is far better for networking hands down.

I'm not trusting closed source security products like a firewall. Could the NSA backdoor BSD/Linux? Yes. But then what are your alternatives? Cisco? Huawei? At least with open source firewalls there are enough eyes going over the code that a backdoor attack is going to require a high level of...

The folding feature in Vim might be worth looking into.

If you're just trying to get the source directory, you might find it easier to grab the source manually: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/9.1-RELEASE/ The file you want is src.txz. This is the release version however, and you may want to get the latest patches. I can't...

While it's true Microsoft is aggressively developing their server OS, this doesn't mean their decisions are infallible. The metro interface has pretty much proven that Microsoft is quite capable of making completely idiotic decisions. Even after the overwhelmingly negative feedback before...

I've never put "up" in a bridge configuration (it's always up), so maybe try taking that out. You have firewall_type set wrong. It should be set to open, closed, client, or simple. Or perhaps you wanted to set firewall_script instead?

Your problems may not be with Linux, so much as with the stuff running on top of Linux. Both FreeBSD and Linux may be able to meet your requirements, but you'll have to make concessions on how fancy the environment looks. You'll probably want some sort of generic looking "start button" task bar...

From a machine behind the FreeBSD gateway, try to ping 192.168.2.1 and that should tell you if it's passing through. I'm not sure if that's all of your rc.conf, but I did notice you don't have a DNS server enabled, but DHCP is handing out your server address for DNS resolution. You will...

This might be a problem if the NAT module hasn't been loaded when ipfw is initializing. Try setting ipdivert_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf

Yeah, you'll have to choose either blocking them on the network level, or returning errors but can't do both. (alternative idea, use mod rewrite to point to a script that does less intensive logging). This does sound like someone misconfigured something, so redirecting to a porn image is...

A "solution" depends on what you think is acceptable for server load. Since you're not sure if it's malicious or not, I'd still give the IP address change a shot if that's an option. Then at least you'll know if it's just an oddball mistake or not. If you're trying block traffic before apache...

Your question is a little too broad to answer properly, especially the term "mail server" as FreeBSD supports many that do both outgoing and incoming. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by encryption method for passwords, but I'm assuming you mean how the password file is stored on the...

That looks correct to me. I'd try to return a 403 in that block and confirm that the location directive is catching it properly. Also check the file permissions on .htpasswd-adm. The nginx worker process needs permission to read this file. I'm not sure if that directory is a webroot or where...

Quite good thank you.

Are you having problems password protecting directories, or doing it the way Apache does it? It's built into the Nginx http module, you just need to add an auth_basic and auth_basic_user_file to a location directive. If you mean, can you have .htpasswd files strewn all over the system that are...

I think you're misunderstanding how syslog works, you may want to reread the manual. Facilities and priorities are explicitly fixed within the standard ones defined by the operating system. If you want to log things prefixed by "pf" (and by prefix I mean by program name), then you need to do it...

The dig command should allow you to see if things are resolving. If they're not then make sure /etc/resolv.conf is pointing at a dns server which is working.

Due to the nature of network address translation, you have to use the internal address to access internal machines. What exactly are you trying to do? (related: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=29997)
