Abstract
ipfw(8) is a firewall application that comes standard with FreeBSD. This book provides an introduction to IPFW and its capabilities. These capabilities are demonstrated using QEMU virtual machines in real-world scenarios.
Content includes descriptions of the main features of ipfw(8) and lab examples on using IPFW as a firewall or a network gateway.
Like IPFW itself, this book is a work in progress.
