Hi! I am really new to FreeBSD and especially to networking so maybe it's just me but I think there is a little error in the documentation (chapter 29.3.3.1 - PF). - xl1 is the external Interface connected to the internet - xl0 is the external local interface This rule is comprehensible: pass from xl1:network to any port $ports keep state (I read it like `pass everything from the internet to the allowed ports`) The following confuses me: "For example, a $localnet macro could be defined as the network directly attached to the internal interface ($xl1:network)" - I thought $xl1 is the internet/external interface - why is it called $localnet? Is this an error in the documentation or did I miss something? Thank you in advance! Chandra BTW: The handbook is really great and easier to understand than the most of howtos out there.
