Hi everybody,
First post and first FreeBSD installation.
I would like to learn about FreeBSD, so I decided to set up my personal web server. Of course, with web servers, security is always a question. So, I've decided to go one step at the time.
My questions:
I have installed FreeBSD, and during the installation I've selected to install ports and sshd. sshd connections are blocked by default. So, basically,
Thanks in advance.

My questions:
I have installed FreeBSD, and during the installation I've selected to install ports and sshd. sshd connections are blocked by default. So, basically,
- If I set up sshd correctly and set up the firewall correctly, I will have an "impenetrable" system? I.e. at this point these two services are the only things I should focus on and I will have a secured system? Do I have to set any other service up for security?
- If the answer to 1. is "yes", then I can proceed to installing AMP. Do the same rules, regarding security, apply as if I was doing this on a Linux machine?
Thanks in advance.
