pf (packet filter) Documentation

July 6th, 2009 Christer Leave a comment Go to comments

I’m looking for some good pf (packet-filter) documentation if anyone has anything to suggest. I’ve added a second FreeBSD machine to my public-facing network, and may be adding a third soon. I want to make sure that my firewall is setup properly but I’m not very familiar with pf. Can anyone suggest a book, online document, etc that has good examples for setting up pf?
