Thanks to Michael Ross too.
I have followed the steps but seems not working, here is the ipfw list
output:
$ sudo ipfw list
00100 allow ip from any to any via lo0
00200 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8
00300 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any
00400 deny ip from any to ::1
00500 deny ip from ::1 to any
00600 allow ipv6-icmp from :: to ff02::/16
00700 allow ipv6-icmp from fe80::/10 to fe80::/10
00800 allow ipv6-icmp from fe80::/10 to ff02::/16
00900 allow ipv6-icmp from any to any ip6 icmp6types 1
01000 allow ipv6-icmp from any to any ip6 icmp6types 2,135,136
01100 check-state :default
01200 allow tcp from me to any established
01300 allow tcp from me to any setup keep-state :default
01400 allow udp from me to any keep-state :default
01500 allow icmp from me to any keep-state :default
01600 allow ipv6-icmp from me to any keep-state :default
01700 allow udp from 0.0.0.0 68 to 255.255.255.255 dst-port 67 out
01800 allow udp from any 67 to me dst-port 68 in
01900 allow udp from any 67 to 255.255.255.255 dst-port 68 in
02000 allow udp from fe80::/10 to me dst-port 546 in
02100 allow icmp from any to any icmptypes 8
02200 allow ipv6-icmp from any to any ip6 icmp6types 128,129
02300 allow icmp from any to any icmptypes 3,4,11
02400 allow ipv6-icmp from any to any ip6 icmp6types 3
02500 allow tcp from any to me dst-port 22
02600 allow tcp from any to me dst-port 25
02700 allow tcp from any to me dst-port 80
02800 allow tcp from any to me dst-port 443
02900 allow tcp from any to me dst-port 21
65000 count ip from any to any
65100 deny { tcp or udp } from any to any dst-port 135-139,445 in
65200 deny { tcp or udp } from any to any dst-port 1026,1027 in
65300 deny { tcp or udp } from any to any dst-port 1433,1434 in
65400 deny ip from any to 255.255.255.255
65500 deny ip from any to 224.0.0.0/24 in
65500 deny udp from any to any dst-port 520 in
65500 deny tcp from any 80,443 to any dst-port 1024-65535 in
65500 deny ip from any to any
65535 deny ip from any to any
looks like the blacklist records are not added to ipfw.
I have also tried to add -C option to rc.conf:
blacklistd_enable="YES"
blacklistd_flags="-r -C /usr/libexec/blacklistd-helper"
But also not working. The ipfw list output is same as above.
