As the other responses suggest, your question is not really clear. I 
guess what you want is to make your host unreachable from the internet. 
You set up firewall rules that block all incoming packets, FreeBSD 
supports a number of different ones, ipfw, ipfilter and packetfilter - 
se the handbook.

Note, once you have a connection - regardless of firewall - you can be 
discovered with arping provided that the pinging host is on the same 
physical network as you. Normally this is not a problem, and doesn't 
really matter if they can't connect anyway.

Cheers, Erik
