+.Sh NAME
+.Nm tftp-proxy
+.Nd Internet Trivial File Transfer Protocol proxy
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm tftp-proxy
+.Op Fl v
+.Op Fl w Ar transwait
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a proxy for the Internet Trivial File Transfer Protocol invoked by
+the
+.Xr inetd 8
+internet server.
+TFTP connections should be redirected to the proxy using the
+.Xr pf 4
+.Ar rdr
+command, after which the proxy connects to the server on behalf of
+the client.
+.Pp
+The proxy establishes a
+.Xr pf 4
+.Ar rdr
+rule using the
+.Ar anchor
+facility to rewrite packets between the client and the server.
+Once the rule is established,
+.Nm
+forwards the initial request from the client to the server to begin the
+transfer.
+After
+.Ar transwait
+seconds, the
+.Xr pf 4
+NAT state is assumed to have been established and the
+.Ar rdr
+rule is deleted and the program exits.
+Once the transfer between the client and the server is completed, the
+NAT state will naturally expire.
+.Pp
+Assuming the TFTP command request is from $client to $server, the
+proxy connected to the server using the $proxy source address, and
+$port is negotiated,
+.Nm
+adds the following rule to the anchor:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+rdr proto udp from $server to $proxy port $port -\*(Gt $client
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl v
+Log the connection and request information to
+.Xr syslogd 8 .
+.It Fl w Ar transwait
+Number of seconds to wait for the data transmission to begin before
+removing the
+.Xr pf 4
+.Ar rdr
+rule.
+The default is 2 seconds.
+.El
+.Sh CONFIGURATION
+To make use of the proxy,
+.Xr pf.conf 5
+needs the following rules.
+The anchors are mandatory.
+Adjust the rules as needed for your configuration.
+.Pp
+In the NAT section:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+nat on $ext_if from $int_if -\*(Gt ($ext_if:0)
+
+no nat on $ext_if to port tftp
+
+rdr-anchor "tftp-proxy/*"
+rdr on $int_if proto udp from $lan to any port tftp -\*(Gt \e
+ 127.0.0.1 port 6969
+.Ed
+.Pp
+In the filter section, an anchor must be added to hold the pass rules:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+anchor "tftp-proxy/*"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+.Xr inetd 8
+must be configured to spawn the proxy on the port that packets are
+being forwarded to by
+.Xr pf 4 .
+An example
+.Xr inetd.conf 5
+entry follows:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+127.0.0.1:6969 dgram udp wait root \e
+ /usr/libexec/tftp-proxy tftp-proxy
