solved

Hey yall, (I posted this already to Reddit, and didn't realize I could here: https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1g9scfc/help_with_a_natd_jail_running_dnsmasq/) So I finally got a jail running on my main FreeBSD box. It’s taken me so long, but I did it. I created a pf.conf and got NAT...

Hey! Let me give you a little background. I'm a Linux user. Not a very good Linux user. I prefer to point and click. I prefer to not deal with things and have my OS "just work". That doesn't mean I don't get dirty with lower level stuff, it's just that I'm not really experienced. However I've...

After updating the host to 14.0-RELEASE, I decided to do ezjail-admin update -U -s 12.2-RELEASE to update my jails from 12.2 to 14.0.
