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
