Operation of the network can be handle with init scripts;
Choose wireless or net as connection to outside world and configure /etc/rc.conf to run at startup, example connecting using wireless interface;
#
# /etc/rc.conf: system configuration
#
FONT=default
KEYMAP=dvorak
TIMEZONE="Europe/Lisbon"
HOSTNAME=c9
SYSLOG=sysklogd
SERVICES=(lo iptables wlan crond)
# End of file
If is first boot after install configure iptables and one of above described scripts then proceed to update system.
This example will use Chaos Computer Club server, edit /etc/resolv.conf and make it immutable;
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
nameserver 213.73.91.35
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line
# chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

Manual configuring like net script;

# GW=192.168.1.254
# ip addr flush dev ${DEV}
# ip route flush dev ${DEV}
# ip addr add ${ADDR}/${MASK} dev ${DEV} broadcast +
# ip link set ${DEV} up
# ip route add default via ${GW}
For more information about firewall systems read arch wiki iptables an nftables.
To setup iptables rules a set of scripts is used, init script /etc/rc.d/iptables loads set of rules from file /etc/iptables/net.v4 at boot time. Start option "open" option allows everything to outside and blocks everything from outside, "stop" will block and log everything. Setup init script and rules ;
# mkdir /etc/iptables
# cp core/conf/iptables/net.v4 /etc/iptables/
# cp core/conf/rc.d/iptables /etc/rc.d/
# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/iptables
Change /etc/rc.conf and add iptables;
SERVICES=(iptables lo net crond)
See current rules and packets counts;
# iptables -L -n -v | less

match = -m matchname [per-match-options]
Targets, can be a user defined chain;
ACCEPT - accepts the packet
DROP - drop the packet on the floor
QUEUE - packet will be stent to queue
RETURN - stop traversing this chain and
resume ate the next rule in the
previeus (calling) chain.
if packet reach the end of the chain or
a target RETURN, default policy for that
chain is applayed.

LOG
Torn on kernel logging, will print some
some information on all matching packets.
Log data can be read with dmesg or syslogd.
This is a non-terminating target and a rule
should be created with matching criteria.
--log-level level
Level of logging (numeric or see sys-
log.conf(5)
--log-prefix prefix
Prefix log messages with specified prefix
up to 29 chars log
--log-uid
Log the userid of the process with gener-
ated the packet
NFLOG
This target pass the packet to loaded logging
backend to log the packet. One or more userspace
processes may subscribe to the group to receive
the packets.
ULOG
This target provides userspace logging of maching
packets. One or more userspace processes may then
then subscribe to various multicast groups and
then receive the packets.
