The rules are different obviously, but the criteria matches the same traffic. Because PF will apply the last matching rule by default (unless 'quick' is used), your first rule will never be applied. You could use synproxy state on the second rule, and remove the first entirely. > As for the third rule syntax, Should I make it like this? > > "pass out proto tcp to any flags S/SA keep state" and shall I add the > same for udp? > > "pass out proto udp to any flags S/SA keep state" ? If you only want to pass UDP and TCP, then you can do something like this: pass out proto tcp to any flags S/SA keep state pass out proto udp to any keep state Kian
