Hash: SHA1
from ipfirewall(4):
There is one rule that always exists, rule number 65535. This rule nor-
mally causes all packets to be dropped. Hence, any packet which does not
match a lower numbered rule will be dropped. However, a kernel compile
time option IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT allows the administrator to
change this fixed rule to permit everything.
