see if_bridge(4) for full details. in short they control whether or not
filtering is available on the member interfaces and/or the bridge.

net.link.bridge.pfil_local_phys: 0
net.link.bridge.pfil_member: 1
net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge: 1
net.link.bridge.pfil_onlyip: 1

i realized too late that you don't need one. i expected to see such a
rule due to my style of ruleset writing. i usually start w/ "block log all"
to disable the default pass rule on all interfaces, then explicitly
allow only the traffic i want.

you didn't, so the default for interfaces you don't have any rules for
is pass all.

"set skip on X" has the same effect as a rule that says "pass quick on X"
