Examples describe a network that will be configured with two interfaces Ethernet and Wireless. Ethernet interface will be configured as default route, wireless interface covered here is simple alternative to Ethernet connection.
If is first boot after install configure iptables and one of above described scripts then proceed to upgrade your system.
For more information about iptables read arch wiki. You can use iptables script at boot time and iptables-save and iptables-restore tools to configure nat and filtering;
# mkdir /etc/iptables
# cp c9-doc/core/scripts/iptables.sh /etc/iptables/
Adjust iptables to your needs, then;
# cd /etc/iptables
# sh iptables.sh
# iptables-save > rules.v4
Copy init script, edit if you dont like to let drop when you call stop.
# cp c9-doc/core/conf/rc.d/iptables /etc/rc.d/
# vim /etc/rc.d/iptables
# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/iptables
Re-configure your rc.conf and add iptables before (w)lan is up;
SERVICES=(lo iptables net crond)
Configure your resolver with a server that don't censorship there for respect your freedom and privacy. Read Tor Dns Resolver for more information. 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
# ip link
# 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}
There is more information on Wiki Wifi Start Scripts and see /etc/rc.d/wlan. Manual or first time configuration;
# ip link
# iwlist wlp2s0 scan
# iwconfig wlp2s0 essid NAME key s:ABCDE12345
Configure wpa supplicant edit;
# vim /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
update_config=1
fast_reauth=1
ap_scan=1
# wpa_passphrase <ssid> <password> >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Now start wpa_supplicant with:
# wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp2s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
Use /etc/rc.d/wlan init script to auto load wpa configuration and dhcp client.
# wpa_cli
