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 05 January 2012)
- 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)]

Here are the Slides for the May 9th, 2012 PF tutorial at BSDCan in Ottawa, Candada (the latest and greatest), also see The Book of PF for a fuller prose description.
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 December 3rd, 2011, the tutorial saw its one hundred and ten thousandth unique visitor (as in unique host name or IP address) since moving to the new location during EuroBSDCon 2006.

If the tutorial interests you, you might also be tempted to browse the paper I wrote for BSDCan 2007, The silent network. (pdf).

The new, improved The Book of PF is out (the second edition started shipping November 2010, see http://nostarch.com/pf2.htm). Some parts of the book will be a bit familiar, others less so -- and the samples it contains are in both new (OpenBSD 4.7 and newer) and old (OpenBSD 4.6 and earlier) syntax. Use the code OPENBSD48 when ordering for a significant discount.
