For bridging, I suppose ipfw is better. -Sunil Sunder Raj ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mircea Popescu" <popescu.mircea@gmail.com> To: <freebsd-pf@freebsd.org> Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 8:26 PM Subject: TRansparent firewalll (pf vs ipfw) > Hi! > > I have an Freebsd 6.0 box with a functioning bridge (bridge0 = fxp0 + rl0) > > My problem is that if I try to cut access to any port on bridge0 > interface using PF, nothing happens. > > For example I've tried to cut access to ssh service from a certain ip > ... putty still managed to get through. > > The rule was: > block on bridge0 proto { tcp udp } from yy.yy.yy.yy to xx.xx.xx.xx port pppppp > > BUT, with the following rule: > block on rl0 proto { tcp udp } from yy.yy.yy.yy to xx.xx.xx.xx. port pppppp > > Putty couldn't obtain a connection. > > Considering the fact that in linux, which I gave up using, making a > bridge would disable the interfaces within, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME > QUESTIONS ANSWERED: > > 1.
