New series: FreeBSD Foundationals
Part 1 is about Jails - specifically VNET Jails. What epair interfaces actually are (virtual ethernet cables), how bridges tie them together, why the host is basically a router for your jails, and what devfs rulesets control.
Covers the full lifecycle from jail.conf through pf firewalling with NAT/RDR for IPv4 and direct routing for IPv6. Plus the gotchas that'll cost you hours if nobody warns you.
Not a beginner tutorial, hardcore details. The useful middle.
FreeBSD Foundationals: Jails - From Chroot on Steroids to Full Virtual Networks
The first in a series on FreeBSD fundamentals. This one covers Jails from the ground up: why they exist, how classic Jails differ from VNET Jails, what epair...

@Larvitz VNET Jails really are one of FreeBSD's greatest features.
And while I do not have need for, you could also give a jail of of your FreeBSD hosts physical interfaces, skipping epair and bridge interfaces entirely.
Netgraph VNET Jails are also pretty neat, though I find working with ng_* interfaces a bit too complicated, so I usually stick with epair.

@subnetspider Yep, classic jails. I mentioned them briefly and in the comparisson table of the article
