This is my main claim to fame (or was until the book came out) - the tutorial which I've presented at various conferences and in some user group and private sessions since early 2005.

NOTE: The links below lead to locations on NUUG's server, which enjoys a lot better connectivity than bsdly.net is likely to have in the foreseeable future. The NUUG server has significantly better connectivity, choosing the local backup is bound to be a lot slower, but the files are identical.

The Firewalling with PF tutorial: (updated 21 January 2009)
- full text, html, English -- [backup (slow)]
- full text, one html file, English -- [backup (slow)]
- full text, pdf, English -- [backup (slow)]
- source (DocBook SGML, Makefile, etc) -- [backup (slow)]
- slides, html, English -- [backup (slow)]

Brannmur med PF (norsk): (trenger sponsor for vedlikehold)
- full tekst, html, norsk
- full tekst, en html-fil, norsk
- full tekst, pdf, norsk
- kilde (DocBook SGML, Makefile osv)
- lysark, html, norsk

Translated versions: The tutorial has been translated into various languages at various times, mainly based on the 'long html' version. If you want to do a translation, I strongly recommend that you grab the source archive and translate the SGML source instead, then build the various formats the same way I do. If you do it that way and tell me about your work, I will assist you in any way I can and link to your translated version from here.

(*) News flash: On July 1st, 2009, the tutorial saw its sixty-five thousand five hundred and fifty-sixth unique visitor (as in unique host name or IP address) since moving to the new location during EuroBSDCon 2006. Yes,\ ladies and gentlemen, that's an old-fashioned 64 k (1024 * 64, or 65536 for decimal-heads) unique visitors.
