Hi,

It is a while ago that I build ipfw firewalls, but doesn't rule 10 match all internal (from LAN) traffic, preventing outgoing (to WAN) packets to get to the nat rules?

I would suggest something like this:

00001 reass ip from any to any in
00050 deny log ip from any to any not antispoof in
00100 nat 1 ip4 from any to any via igc0
00300 check-state :default
00200 allow ip from any to any in table(trustedif) keep-state :default
05000 allow tcp from any to me *some open ports* in recv igc0 setup keep-state :default
05001 allow udp from any to me *some open ports* in recv igc0 keep-state :default
09999 deny log ip from any to any
65535 allow ip from any to any



Regards,
Ronald.
