Found these very interesting security methods/topics.
< authpf >
Allows a secure remote auth, kind of reverse "Captive Portal" only
from WAN.
(short explanation taken from FreeBSD Manual Pages)
"authpf is a user shell for authenticating gateways. It is used to change
pf(4) rules when a user authenticates and starts a session with sshd(8)
and to undo these changes when the user's session exits.
Typical use would be for a gateway that authenticates users before allowing them Internet use, or a gateway that allows different users into different places."
< Port Knocking >
Port Knocking allows a firewall to protect private IP 'LAN services'
by keeping all ports closed until a specific sequence of network traffic
is sent.
Being a FreeBSD based firewall, is there any chance of seeing these
implemented in SmallWall any time soon ?
