## Macros # The internal interface (connected to the local network). int_if="xl0" ## Options # Set the default policy to return RSTs or ICMPs for blocked traffic. set block-policy return # Ignore the loopback interface entirely. set skip on lo0 ## Translation rules # NAT traffic on the interface in the default egress interface group (to # which the interface out of which the default route goes is assigned) from the # local network. match out on egress from $int_if:network to any nat-to (egress) ## Filtering rules # Default deny rule, with all blocked packets logged. block log all # Pass all traffic to and from the local network, using quick so that later # rules are not evaluated if a packet matches this. Some rulesets would restrict # local traffic much further. pass quick on $int_if all # Permit all traffic going out, keep state so that replies are automatically passed; # many rulesets would have many rules here, restricting traffic in and out on the # external (egress) interface.

Famous quotes containing the word file:
“A common and natural result of an undue respect for law is, that you may see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys, and all, marching in admirable order over hill and dale to the wars, against their wills, ay, against their common sense and consciences, which makes it very steep marching indeed, and produces a palpitation of the heart.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
