It's poorly named; ipfw3 is a completely separate effort by Bill Yuan.<br>
ipfw is still there in DragonFly. ipfw3 does not replace or modify<br>
it.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Ah, I see. So DFly is in a similar boat as FreeBSD with 3 separate packet filters: ipfw, ipfw3, pf.

I'd suggest pf in DragonFly mostly because I've been using it on<br>
DragonFly for years. Like most things, it depends on what you want to<br>
do.<br>
