 Hello Marcelo,
 
 I just stumbled across this old PR which is still open.
 Apparently the problem was caused by missing DNS access,
 not a bug in IPFW itself.  Note that DNS queries often
 happen "behind the scenes".  Even if you use IP numbers
 only, many programs will try to perform reverse-lookup.
 
 Do you agree that the PR can be closed?
 
 Best regards
    Oliver
