Getting The Server Available
Nice to have a server. Better would be able to connect it to the network.
My aging UPS has been replaced with a APC Back-UPS. Nothing special to making the package.
Moving from Linux one needs to pay special attention to where the config files are located.
I'm a big fan of fwbuilder. It does all I need it to do. One gotcha with FreeBSD is you need to add kldload ipl to your /boot/loader.conf file. It also seems to be sensitive to the Directions in the policy. Having the direction set to both generates the error" warning: Changing rule direction due to self reference" Also make sure the firewall can send packets out.
