Monitor Your Monthly Bandwidth with Your Router. Port number. In computer networking, a port is an application-specific or process-specific software construct serving as a communications endpoint in a computer's host operating system.

Port number

A port is associated with an IP address of the host, as well as the type of protocol used for communication. The purpose of ports is to uniquely identify different applications or processes running on a single computer and thereby enable them to share a single physical connection to a packet-switched network like the Internet. The protocols that primarily use ports are the Transport Layer protocols, such as the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) of the Internet Protocol Suite.

How to Build a Simple Wireless Authenticated Gateway (SWAG) Using OpenBSD

First and foremost you need to get your hands on the coolest free BSD system for firewalls and security devices. In this example I will be using OpenBSD3.6 stock standard as a build and a base system (but I guess you could use FreeBSD5.3 – me thinks the newer FreeBSD are getting a bit bloated but the background fscking, fscking rocks dude!) Once you have installed your neighborhood OS in your server (go ahead and install all the packages from the OpenBSD installation CD, heck I have 40G worth of SATA drive on my brand spanking new Dell 1U server so I don't really care) you only need to change a couple of files within your /etc directory before you can start rocking.
