Hello,

I=E2=80=99m trying to load my PF at system startup but having issues =
after installing an OpenVPN server. The first approach I tried was via =
rc.conf, here is my configuration:

$ grep pf /etc/rc.conf
pf_enable=3D"YES"
pf_rules=3D"/etc/pf.conf"
pflog_enable=3D"YES"
pfstatd_enable=3D"YES"
pflog_logfile=3D"/var/log/pflog=E2=80=9D

Theoretically this should be enough. However PF doesn=E2=80=99t load =
anything at boot. I have to do it manually. I added the following lines =
at =E2=80=98/etc/rc.local=E2=80=99 and worked for a couple of months:

$ grep pf /etc/rc.local
/sbin/pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf


Not this approach won=E2=80=99t work either. This is a FreeBSD based =
VPS. Every time I reboot the VPS I have to manually login and run =
=E2=80=98pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf=E2=80=99 to load the ruleset.

I think that this has something to do with =E2=80=98tun0=E2=80=99 =
interface which is the last thing that is loaded at boot. Probably PF =
runs before this, sees rules that it doesn=E2=80=99t understand (related =
to tun0) and comes up short, then tun0 is loaded but it=E2=80=99s too =
late.

Any ideas on how to solve this are welcomed!

Thanks

Panagiotis (atmosx) Atmatzidis
