PfSense - basic firewall rules for a simple home setup?

craptakular · 23 Oct 2016 at 12:38

Can anyone recommend a guide that will allow me to setup some basic firewall rules for a simple home setup?

I am running openvpn on it and just set up snort in connectivity mode, which I think is enough for my simple needs.

However, it has just dawned on my I don't understand one bit of the firewall rules.

Can someone help a noob out?

Thanks, I'll have to spend some time this week reading up on firewalls.

Block all inbound connections other than ones related to outbound sessions should pretty much do it.

Could you give me an example? This is all new to me.

What do you mean by NAT or no NAT?
