Ok, before anytime gets the chance to tell me that I'm a moron:
M0n0wall runs ipfilter, not ipfw. Some of these suggested rules (short,
ipopts) are already in the out-of-the-box rules. And probably alot more.
But I still would like a little more control over the ipfilter rules. =)
Also, I'm just about finished adding some counters for the interfaces
(lan,wan,opt) to display a nice little html bandwidth usage graph (over
the last 60 minutes, or 24 hours ...) for each interface in the
Status->Interfaces boxes. I'll let you know how it works out.
