Here's how I did it:
http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/pf/index.htm
After Heartbleed, I temporarily switched to pfSense
(https://www.pfsense.org/), and that's also working very well. As a
matter of fact, right now I'm receiving this email, via ssh, through a
port-forward in that router/firewall.
I like Linux for a lot of things, but when it comes to firewalling,
I'll pick pf over iptables every time.
