@feld @FreeBSDFoundation this happened recently: a colleague, who's trying out FreeBSD discovered that if you kldload ipfw, it loads and enables the firewall and with the default action of denying everything, got locked out of the machine. network performance was also pretty terrible compared to linux due to the conservative defaults.
