Hello Yuda,

If I understand you correctly, you would like to configure your
FreeBSD machine in such a way that it allows clients on the private
network to get access to the Internet. You can definitely do this (it
is what I do at home), and FreeBSD is a wonderful system to use for
such a purpose.

Along with ipfw, you will also need to use natd. The relevant selections
from the handbook that you will want to read are:

and

Good luck,
