Others have already given some good feedback (and asked some good

> pass out all keep state

You're allowing out the initial TCP SYN, and creating a state entry for the
connection here. You should be able to make outgoing connections anywhere
with this rule.

Once a state entry gets created, the state table will match on the traffic
for the session, and the rules list won't have to be evaluated.
