The devs behind GhostBSD just decided to change their base to Trueos. Truos was originally spawned from PC-BSD and was an out of the box preconfigured graphical solution based on FreeBSD-current. Then iXsystems- the company behind TrueOS decided to make it a core operating system for others to build on as well as being a server os. https://www.trueos.org/blog/trueosdownstream/ Project Trident http://project-trident.org/ was spun off to become what Trueos used to be.

Just installed FreeBSD 11.2 and it has scripts for ipfw in /etc/rc.d. Just needed to enable them in /etc/rc.conf, add some rules to /etc/ipfw.rules, start the service and instant firewall. Just looked and there are a few gui firewall managers in package repos and probably a few more in the ports tree. harv > > > > Brian > Ebenezer Enterprises - I'd like to see the U of M invite Ben > Shapiro back and give him a bigger venue this time.
