If you start using pf firewall with IPv6 enabled the IPv6 addressess are not used: e.g. in case of pf rule: pass out quick proto tcp from $ext_if to any keep state the real rule will be: pass out quick inet proto tcp from "IPv4_ADDRESS_OF_EXTERNAL_INTERFACE" to any keep state the IPv6 address of the external did not take into consideration since IPv6 address not configured yet. >How-To-Repeat: Try using interface names with ipv6 enabled in pf firewall. >Fix: 1. Start network_ipv6 before pf in /etc/rc.d. mohacsi@mignon2> diff -ruN pf.orig pf --- pf.orig Wed Jun 13 12:43:30 2007 +++ pf Wed Jun 13 12:43:53 2007 @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ # # PROVIDE: pf -# REQUIRE: root FILESYSTEMS netif pflog pfsync +# REQUIRE: root FILESYSTEMS netif pflog pfsync network_ipv6 # BEFORE: routing # KEYWORD: nojail 2.
