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
