IPFW ipfw and pf

[user_new]

Hello everyone,
I would like to use pf and ipfw at the same time for different tasks, but I can not understand who is activated first (if there is an order) when a rule is received.
Also trying to verify this, I can’t figure out where the pf and ipfw log files are located on both OPNsense and FreeBSD. Please, help me.

Thanks in advance!

(if there is an order)

There isn't. Which is why this results in undefined behavior and not recommended.

Thank you so much for your answer. How can I verify which firewall is activated first? and do you know where I can find ipfw log files? Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much! Do you also know how to view log files for ipfw?

Says syslog.

I just searched the internet for both answers.

It‘s not recommended to run them both and I’ve never tried (I’ve only used pf).

So for each rule received at vote can be activated pf and other ipfw, right? The activation order can always vary?

Running multiple firewalls simultaneously is not a supported configuration. If you do so the usual warranty applies: when it breaks you get to keep the pieces.

You'd get much better advice if you explained what you're trying to accomplish that makes you think you need to set up two firewalls.

I am using tail -f /var/log/security
