    New blog post: GeoIP-Aware Firewalling with PF on FreeBSDRunning a mail server means constant brute-force attempts. My solution: geographic filtering. SMTP stays open for global mail delivery, but client ports (IMAP, Submission, webmail) are restricted to Central European IP ranges only.Result: ~90% reduction in attack logs, cleaner signal-to-noise ratio, smaller attack surface.Using MaxMind GeoLite2 + PF tables with ~273k CIDR blocks.https://blog.hofstede.it/geoip-aware-firewalling-with-pf-on-freebsd/#FreeBSD #InfoSec #SysAdmin #pf #DevOps

    Beware! Christos committed 9b26d309123abf0e90651298b131783ba7d9b945 on main branch of #FreeBSD #ports tree to ignore FreeBSD15 on audio/virtual_oss port and posted heads-up. https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=9b26d309123abf0e90651298b131783ba7d9b945 https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-stable/2025-September/003305.htmlAnd correlated virtual_oss codes are NOT YET MFC'ed into stable/15. https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-stable/2025-September/003306.htmlChristos states he would MFC in 1 or 2 days, https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-stable/2025-September/003307.htmlbut it means if you upgrade ports including and after the above-mentioned commit on stable/15 including any of ALPHA snapshots before the MFCs are done, you'll lose virtual_oss functionalities.So hold upgrades of ports/pkgs or `pkg lock audio/virtual_oss` would be wanted in the meantime.
