Macros must be defined before they are referenced in .Nm pf.conf . .It Cm Tables Tables provide a mechanism for increasing the performance and flexibility of rules with large numbers of source or destination addresses. .It Cm Options Options tune the behaviour of the packet filtering engine. .It Cm Traffic Normalization Li (e.g. Em scrub ) Traffic normalization protects internal machines against inconsistencies in Internet protocols and implementations. .It Cm Queueing Queueing provides rule-based bandwidth control. .It Cm Translation Li (Various forms of NAT) Translation rules specify how addresses are to be mapped or redirected to other addresses. .It Cm Packet Filtering Stateful and stateless packet filtering provides rule-based blocking or passing of packets. .El .Pp With the exception of .Cm macros and .Cm tables , the types of statements should be grouped and appear in .Nm pf.conf in the order shown above, as this matches the operation of the underlying packet filtering engine. By default .Xr pfctl 8 enforces this order (see .Ar set require-order below). .Sh MACROS Much like .Xr cpp 1 or .Xr m4 1 , macros can be defined that will later be expanded in context. Macro names must start with a letter, and may contain letters, digits and underscores. Macro names may not be reserved words (for example .Ar pass , .Ar in , .Ar out ) . Macros are not expanded inside quotes. .Pp For example, .Bd -literal -offset indent ext_if = \&"kue0\&" all_ifs = \&"{\&" $ext_if lo0 \&"}\&" pass out on $ext_if from any to any keep state pass in on $ext_if proto tcp from any to any port 25 keep state .Ed .Sh TABLES Tables are named structures which can hold a collection of addresses and networks. Lookups against tables in .Xr pf 4 are relatively fast, making a single rule with tables much more efficient, in terms of processor usage and memory consumption, than a large number of rules which differ only in IP address (either created explicitly or automatically by rule expansion). .Pp Tables can be used as the source or destination of filter rules, .Ar scrub rules or translation rules such as .Ar nat or .Ar rdr (see below for details on the various rule types). Tables can also be used for the redirect address of .Ar nat and .Ar rdr rules and in the routing options of filter rules, but only for .Ar round-robin pools. .Pp Tables can be defined with any of the following .Xr pfctl 8 mechanisms. As with macros, reserved words may not be used as table names. .Bl -tag -width "manually" .It Ar manually Persistent tables can be manually created with the .Ar add or .Ar replace option of .Xr pfctl 8 , before or after the ruleset has been loaded. .It Pa pf.conf Table definitions can be placed directly in this file, and loaded at the same time as other rules are loaded, atomically. Table definitions inside .Nm pf.conf use the .Ar table statement, and are especially useful to define non-persistent tables. The contents of a pre-existing table defined without a list of addresses to initialize it is not altered when .Nm pf.conf is loaded. A table initialized with the empty list, .Li { } , will be cleared on load. .El .Pp Tables may be defined with the following two attributes: .Bl -tag -width persist .It Ar persist The .Ar persist flag forces the kernel to keep the table even when no rules refer to it. If the flag is not set, the kernel will automatically remove the table when the last rule referring to it is flushed. .It Ar const The .Ar const flag prevents the user from altering the contents of the table once it has been created. Without that flag, .Xr pfctl 8 can be used to add or remove addresses from the table at any time, even when running with .Xr securelevel 7 = 2. .El .Pp For example, .Bd -literal -offset indent table const { 10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16 } table persist block on fxp0 from { , } to any .Ed .Pp creates a table called private, to hold RFC 1918 private network blocks, and a table called badhosts, which is initially empty. A filter rule is set up to block all traffic coming from addresses listed in either table. The private table cannot have its contents changed and the badhosts table will exist even when no active filter rules reference it. Addresses may later be added to the badhosts table, so that traffic from these hosts can be blocked by using .Bd -literal -offset indent # pfctl -t badhosts -Tadd 204.92.77.111 .Ed .Pp A table can also be initialized with an address list specified in one or more external files, using the following syntax: .Bd -literal -offset indent table persist file \&"/etc/spammers\&" file \&"/etc/openrelays\&" block on fxp0 from to any .Ed .Pp The files .Pa /etc/spammers and .Pa /etc/openrelays list IP addresses, one per line. Any lines beginning with a # are treated as comments and ignored. In addition to being specified by IP address, hosts may also be specified by their hostname. When the resolver is called to add a hostname to a table, .Em all resulting IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are placed into the table. IP addresses can also be entered in a table by specifying a valid interface name or the .Em self keyword, in which case all addresses assigned to the interface(s) will be added to the table. .Sh OPTIONS .Xr pf 4 may be tuned for various situations using the .Ar set command. .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Ar set timeout .Pp .Bl -tag -width interval -compact .It Ar interval Interval between purging expired states and fragments. .It Ar frag Seconds before an unassembled fragment is expired. .It Ar src.track Length of time to retain a source tracking entry after the last state expires. .El .Pp When a packet matches a stateful connection, the seconds to live for the connection will be updated to that of the .Ar proto.modifier which corresponds to the connection state. Each packet which matches this state will reset the TTL. Tuning these values may improve the performance of the firewall at the risk of dropping valid idle connections. .Pp .Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact .It Ar tcp.first The state after the first packet. .It Ar tcp.opening The state before the destination host ever sends a packet. .It Ar tcp.established The fully established state. .It Ar tcp.closing The state after the first FIN has been sent. .It Ar tcp.finwait The state after both FINs have been exchanged and the connection is closed. Some hosts (notably web servers on Solaris) send TCP packets even after closing the connection. Increasing .Ar tcp.finwait (and possibly .Ar tcp.closing ) can prevent blocking of such packets. .It Ar tcp.closed The state after one endpoint sends an RST. .El .Pp ICMP and UDP are handled in a fashion similar to TCP, but with a much more limited set of states: .Pp .Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact .It Ar udp.first The state after the first packet. .It Ar udp.single The state if the source host sends more than one packet but the destination host has never sent one back. .It Ar udp.multiple The state if both hosts have sent packets. .It Ar icmp.first The state after the first packet. .It Ar icmp.error The state after an ICMP error came back in response to an ICMP packet. .El .Pp Other protocols are handled similarly to UDP: .Pp .Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact .It Ar other.first .It Ar other.single .It Ar other.multiple .El .Pp Timeout values can be reduced adaptively as the number of state table entries grows. .Pp .Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact .It Ar adaptive.start When the number of state entries exceeds this value, adaptive scaling begins. All timeout values are scaled linearly with factor (adaptive.end - number of states) / (adaptive.end - adaptive.start). .It Ar adaptive.end When reaching this number of state entries, all timeout values become zero, effectively purging all state entries immediately. This value is used to define the scale factor, it should not actually be reached (set a lower state limit, see below). .El .Pp These values can be defined both globally and for each rule. When used on a per-rule basis, the values relate to the number of states created by the rule, otherwise to the total number of states. .Pp For example: .Bd -literal -offset indent set timeout tcp.first 120 set timeout tcp.established 86400 set timeout { adaptive.start 6000, adaptive.end 12000 } set limit states 10000 .Ed .Pp With 9000 state table entries, the timeout values are scaled to 50% (tcp.first 60, tcp.established 43200). .Pp .It Ar set loginterface Enable collection of packet and byte count statistics for the given interface. These statistics can be viewed using .Bd -literal -offset indent # pfctl -s info .Ed .Pp In this example .Xr pf 4 collects statistics on the interface named dc0: .Bd -literal -offset indent set loginterface dc0 .Ed .Pp One can disable the loginterface using: .Bd -literal -offset indent set loginterface none .Ed .Pp .It Ar set limit Sets hard limits on the memory pools used by the packet filter. See .Xr pool 9 for an explanation of memory pools. .Pp For example, .Bd -literal -offset indent set limit states 20000 .Ed .Pp sets the maximum number of entries in the memory pool used by state table entries (generated by .Ar keep state rules) to 20000. Using .Bd -literal -offset indent set limit frags 20000 .Ed .Pp sets the maximum number of entries in the memory pool used for fragment reassembly (generated by .Ar scrub rules) to 20000. Finally, .Bd -literal -offset indent set limit src-nodes 2000 .Ed .Pp sets the maximum number of entries in the memory pool used for tracking source IP addresses (generated by the .Ar sticky-address and .Ar source-track options) to 2000. .Pp These can be combined: .Bd -literal -offset indent set limit { states 20000, frags 20000, src-nodes 2000 } .Ed .Pp .It Ar set optimization Optimize the engine for one of the following network environments: .Pp .Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact .It Ar normal A normal network environment. Suitable for almost all networks. .It Ar high-latency A high-latency environment (such as a satellite connection). .It Ar satellite Alias for .Ar high-latency . .It Ar aggressive Aggressively expire connections. This can greatly reduce the memory usage of the firewall at the cost of dropping idle connections early. .It Ar conservative Extremely conservative settings. Avoid dropping legitimate connections at the expense of greater memory utilization (possibly much greater on a busy network) and slightly increased processor utilization. .El .Pp For example: .Bd -literal -offset indent set optimization aggressive .Ed .Pp .It Ar set block-policy The .Ar block-policy option sets the default behaviour for the packet .Ar block action: .Pp .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxx -compact .It Ar drop Packet is silently dropped. .It Ar return A TCP RST is returned for blocked TCP packets, an ICMP UNREACHABLE is returned for blocked UDP packets, and all other packets are silently dropped. .El .Pp For example: .Bd -literal -offset indent set block-policy return .Ed .It Ar set state-policy The .Ar state-policy option sets the default behaviour for states: .Pp .Bl -tag -width group-bound -compact .It Ar if-bound States are bound to interface. .It Ar group-bound States are bound to interface group (i.e. ppp) .It Ar floating States can match packets on any interfaces (the default). .El .Pp For example: .Bd -literal -offset indent set state-policy if-bound .Ed .It Ar set require-order By default .Xr pfctl 8 enforces an ordering of the statement types in the ruleset to: .Em options , .Em normalization , .Em queueing , .Em translation , .Em filtering . Setting this option to .Ar no disables this enforcement. There may be non-trivial and non-obvious implications to an out of order ruleset. Consider carefully before disabling the order enforcement. .It Ar set fingerprints Load fingerprints of known operating systems from the given filename. By default fingerprints of known operating systems are automatically loaded from .Xr pf.os 5 in .Pa /etc but can be overridden via this option. Setting this option may leave a small period of time where the fingerprints referenced by the currently active ruleset are inconsistent until the new ruleset finishes loading. .Pp For example: .Pp .Dl set fingerprints \&"/etc/pf.os.devel\&" .Pp .It Ar set debug Set the debug .Ar level to one of the following: .Pp .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxx -compact .It Ar none Don't generate debug messages. .It Ar urgent Generate debug messages only for serious errors. .It Ar misc Generate debug messages for various errors. .It Ar loud Generate debug messages for common conditions. .El .El .Sh TRAFFIC NORMALIZATION Traffic normalization is used to sanitize packet content in such a way that there are no ambiguities in packet interpretation on the receiving side. The normalizer does IP fragment reassembly to prevent attacks that confuse intrusion detection systems by sending overlapping IP fragments. Packet normalization is invoked with the .Ar scrub directive. .Pp .Ar scrub has the following options: .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Ar no-df Clears the .Ar dont-fragment bit from a matching IP packet. Some operating systems are known to generate fragmented packets with the .Ar dont-fragment bit set. This is particularly true with NFS. .Ar Scrub will drop such fragmented .Ar dont-fragment packets unless .Ar no-df is specified. .Pp Unfortunately some operating systems also generate their .Ar dont-fragment packets with a zero IP identification field. Clearing the .Ar dont-fragment bit on packets with a zero IP ID may cause deleterious results if an upstream router later fragments the packet. Using the .Ar random-id modifier (see below) is recommended in combination with the .Ar no-df modifier to ensure unique IP identifiers. .It Ar min-ttl Enforces a minimum TTL for matching IP packets. .It Ar max-mss Enforces a maximum MSS for matching TCP packets. .It Ar random-id Replaces the IP identification field with random values to compensate for predictable values generated by many hosts. This option only applies to outgoing packets that are not fragmented after the optional fragment reassembly. .It Ar fragment reassemble Using .Ar scrub rules, fragments can be reassembled by normalization. In this case, fragments are buffered until they form a complete packet, and only the completed packet is passed on to the filter. The advantage is that filter rules have to deal only with complete packets, and can ignore fragments. The drawback of caching fragments is the additional memory cost. But the full reassembly method is the only method that currently works with NAT. This is the default behavior of a .Ar scrub rule if no fragmentation modifier is supplied. .It Ar fragment crop The default fragment reassembly method is expensive, hence the option to crop is provided. In this case, .Xr pf 4 will track the fragments and cache a small range descriptor. Duplicate fragments are dropped and overlaps are cropped. Thus data will only occur once on the wire with ambiguities resolving to the first occurrence. Unlike the .Ar fragment reassemble modifier, fragments are not buffered, they are passed as soon as they are received. The .Ar fragment crop reassembly mechanism does not yet work with NAT. .Pp .It Ar fragment drop-ovl This option is similar to the .Ar fragment crop modifier except that all overlapping or duplicate fragments will be dropped, and all further corresponding fragments will be dropped as well. .It Ar reassemble tcp Statefully normalizes TCP connections. .Ar scrub reassemble tcp rules may not have the direction (in/out) specified. .Ar reassemble tcp performs the following normalizations: .Pp .Bl -tag -width timeout -compact .It ttl Neither side of the connection is allowed to reduce their IP TTL. An attacker may send a packet such that it reaches the firewall, affects the firewall state, and expires before reaching the destination host. .Ar reassemble tcp will raise the TTL of all packets back up to the highest value seen on the connection. .It timeout modulation Modern TCP stacks will send a timestamp on every TCP packet and echo the other endpoint's timestamp back to them. Many operating systems will merely start the timestamp at zero when first booted, and increment it several times a second. The uptime of the host can be deduced by reading the timestamp and multiplying by a constant. Also observing several different timestamps can be used to count hosts behind a NAT device. And spoofing TCP packets into a connection requires knowing or guessing valid timestamps. Timestamps merely need to be monotonically increasing and not derived off a guessable base time. .Ar reassemble tcp will cause .Ar scrub to modulate the TCP timestamps with a random number. .It extended PAWS checks There is a problem with TCP on long fat pipes, in that a packet might get delayed for longer than it takes the connection to wrap its 32-bit sequence space. In such an occurance, the old packet would be indistinguishable from a new packet and would be accepted as such. The solution to this is called PAWS: Protection Against Wrapped Sequence numbers. It protects against it by making sure the timestamp on each packet does not go backwards. .Ar reassemble tcp also makes sure the timestamp on the packet does not go forward more than the RFC allows. By doing this, .Xr pf 4 artificially extends the security of TCP sequence numbers by 10 to 18 bits when the host uses appropriately randomized timestamps, since a blind attacker would have to guess the timestamp as well. .El .El .Pp For example, .Bd -literal -offset indent scrub in on $ext_if all fragment reassemble .Ed .Sh QUEUEING Packets can be assigned to queues for the purpose of bandwidth control. At least two declarations are required to configure queues, and later any packet filtering rule can reference the defined queues by name. During the filtering component of .Nm pf.conf , the last referenced .Ar queue name is where any packets from .Ar pass rules will be queued, while for .Ar block rules it specifies where any resulting ICMP or TCP RST packets should be queued. The .Ar scheduler defines the algorithm used to decide which packets get delayed, dropped, or sent out immediately. There are three .Ar schedulers currently supported. .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Ar cbq Class Based Queueing. .Ar Queues attached to an interface build a tree, thus each .Ar queue can have further child .Ar queues . Each queue can have a .Ar priority and a .Ar bandwidth assigned. .Ar Priority mainly controls the time packets take to get sent out, while .Ar bandwidth has primarily effects on throughput. .It Ar priq Priority Queueing. .Ar Queues are flat attached to the interface, thus, .Ar queues cannot have further child .Ar queues . Each .Ar queue has a unique .Ar priority assigned, ranging from 0 to 15. Packets in the .Ar queue with the highest .Ar priority are processed first. .It Ar hfsc Hierarchical Fair Service Curve. .Ar Queues attached to an interface build a tree, thus each .Ar queue can have further child .Ar queues . Each queue can have a .Ar priority and a .Ar bandwidth assigned. .Ar Priority mainly controls the time packets take to get sent out, while .Ar bandwidth has primarily effects on throughput. .El .Pp The interfaces on which queueing should be activated are declared using the .Ar altq on declaration. .Ar altq on has the following keywords: .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Ar Queueing is enabled on the named interface. .It Ar Specifies which queueing scheduler to use. Currently supported values are .Ar cbq for Class Based Queueing, .Ar priq for Priority Queueing and .Ar hfsc for the Hierarchical Fair Service Curve scheduler. .It Ar bandwidth The maximum bitrate for all queues on an interface may be specified using the .Ar bandwidth keyword. The value can be specified as an absolute value or as a percentage of the interface bandwidth. When using an absolute value, the suffixes .Ar b , .Ar Kb , .Ar Mb , and .Ar Gb are used to represent bits, kilobits, megabits, and gigabits per second, respectively. The value must not exceed the interface bandwidth. If .Ar bandwidth is not specified, the interface bandwidth is used. .It Ar qlimit The maximum number of packets held in the queue. The default is 50. .It Ar tbrsize Adjusts the size, in bytes, of the token bucket regulator. If not specified, heuristics based on the interface bandwidth are used to determine the size. .It Ar queue Defines a list of subqueues to create on an interface. .El .Pp In the following example, the interface dc0 should queue up to 5 Mbit/s in four second-level queues using Class Based Queueing. Those four queues will be shown in a later example. .Bd -literal -offset indent altq on dc0 cbq bandwidth 5Mb queue { std, http, mail, ssh } .Ed .Pp Once interfaces are activated for queueing using the .Ar altq directive, a sequence of .Ar queue directives may be defined. The name associated with a .Ar queue must match a queue defined in the .Ar altq directive (e.g. mail), or, except for the .Ar priq .Ar scheduler , in a parent .Ar queue declaration. The following keywords can be used: .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Ar on Specifies the interface the queue operates on. If not given, it operates on all matching interfaces. .It Ar bandwidth Specifies the maximum bitrate to be processed by the queue. This value must not exceed the value of the parent .Ar queue and can be specified as an absolute value or a percentage of the parent queue's bandwidth. The .Ar priq scheduler does not support bandwidth specification. .It Ar priority Between queues a priority level can be set. For .Ar cbq and .Ar hfsc , the range is 0 to 7 and for .Ar priq , the range is 0 to 15. The default for all is 1. .Ar Priq queues with a higher priority are always served first. .Ar Cbq and .Ar Hfsc queues with a higher priority are preferred in the case of overload. .It Ar qlimit The maximum number of packets held in the queue. The default is 50. .El .Pp The .Ar scheduler can get additional parameters with .Ar Ns Li (\& Ar No ) . Parameters are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Fl .It Ar default Packets not matched by another queue are assigned to this one. Exactly one default queue is required. .It Ar red Enable RED (Random Early Detection) on this queue. RED drops packets with a probability proportional to the average queue length. .It Ar rio Enables RIO on this queue. RIO is RED with IN/OUT, thus running RED two times more than RIO would achieve the same effect. RIO is currently not supported in the GENERIC kernel. .It Ar ecn Enables ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification) on this queue. ECN implies RED. .El .Pp The .Ar cbq .Ar scheduler supports an additional option: .Bl -tag -width Fl .It Ar borrow The queue can borrow bandwidth from the parent. .El .Pp The .Ar hfsc .Ar scheduler supports some additional options: .Bl -tag -width Fl .It Ar realtime The minimum required bandwidth for the queue. .It Ar upperlimit The maximum allowed bandwidth for the queue. .It Ar linkshare The bandwidth share of a backlogged queue. .El .Pp is an acronym for .Ar service curve . .Pp The format for service curve specifications is .Ar ( m1 , d , m2 ) . .Ar m2 controls the bandwidth assigned to the queue. .Ar m1 and .Ar d are optional and can be used to control the initial bandwidth assignment. For the first .Ar d milliseconds the queue gets the bandwidth given as .Ar m1 , afterwards the value given in .Ar m2 . .Pp Furthermore, with .Ar cbq and .Ar hfsc , child queues can be specified as in an .Ar altq declaration, thus building a tree of queues using a part of their parent's bandwidth. .Pp Packets can be assigned to queues based on filter rules by using the .Ar queue keyword. Normally only one .Ar queue is specified; when a second one is specified it will instead be used for packets which have a .Em TOS of .Em lowdelay and for TCP ACKs with no data payload. .Pp To continue the previous example, the examples below would specify the four referenced queues, plus a few child queues. Interactive .Xr ssh 1 sessions get priority over bulk transfers like .Xr scp 1 and .Xr sftp 1 . The queues may then be referenced by filtering rules (see .Sx PACKET FILTERING below). .Bd -literal queue std bandwidth 10% cbq(default) queue http bandwidth 60% priority 2 cbq(borrow red) \e { employees, developers } queue developers bandwidth 75% cbq(borrow) queue employees bandwidth 15% queue mail bandwidth 10% priority 0 cbq(borrow ecn) queue ssh bandwidth 20% cbq(borrow) { ssh_interactive, ssh_bulk } queue ssh_interactive priority 7 queue ssh_bulk priority 0 block return out on dc0 inet all queue std pass out on dc0 inet proto tcp from $developerhosts to any port 80 \e keep state queue developers pass out on dc0 inet proto tcp from $employeehosts to any port 80 \e keep state queue employees pass out on dc0 inet proto tcp from any to any port 22 \e keep state queue(ssh_bulk, ssh_interactive) pass out on dc0 inet proto tcp from any to any port 25 \e keep state queue mail .Ed .Sh TRANSLATION Translation rules modify either the source or destination address of the packets associated with a stateful connection. A stateful connection is automatically created to track packets matching such a rule as long as they are not blocked by the filtering section of .Nm pf.conf . The translation engine modifies the specified address and/or port in the packet, recalculates IP, TCP and UDP checksums as necessary, and passes it to the packet filter for evaluation. .Pp Since translation occurs before filtering the filter engine will see packets as they look after any addresses and ports have been translated. Filter rules will therefore have to filter based on the translated address and port number. Packets that match a translation rule are only automatically passed if the .Ar pass modifier is given, otherwise they are still subject to .Ar block and .Ar pass rules. .Pp The state entry created permits .Xr pf 4 to keep track of the original address for traffic associated with that state and correctly direct return traffic for that connection. .Pp Various types of translation are possible with pf: .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Ar binat A .Ar binat rule specifies a bidirectional mapping between an external IP netblock and an internal IP netblock. .It Ar nat A .Ar nat rule specifies that IP addresses are to be changed as the packet traverses the given interface. This technique allows one or more IP addresses on the translating host to support network traffic for a larger range of machines on an "inside" network. Although in theory any IP address can be used on the inside, it is strongly recommended that one of the address ranges defined by RFC 1918 be used. These netblocks are: .Bd -literal 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (all of net 10, i.e., 10/8) 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (i.e., 172.16/12) 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (i.e., 192.168/16) .Ed .It Pa rdr The packet is redirected to another destination and possibly a different port. .Ar rdr rules can optionally specify port ranges instead of single ports. rdr ... port 2000:2999 -> ... port 4000 redirects ports 2000 to 2999 (inclusive) to port 4000. rdr ... port 2000:2999 -> ... port 4000:* redirects port 2000 to 4000, 2001 to 4001, ..., 2999 to 4999. .El .Pp In addition to modifying the address, some translation rules may modify source or destination ports for .Xr tcp 4 or .Xr udp 4 connections; implicitly in the case of .Ar nat rules and explicitly in the case of .Ar rdr rules. Port numbers are never translated with a .Ar binat rule. .Pp For each packet processed by the translator, the translation rules are evaluated in sequential order, from first to last. The first matching rule decides what action is taken. .Pp The .Ar no option prefixed to a translation rule causes packets to remain untranslated, much in the same way as .Ar drop quick works in the packet filter (see below). If no rule matches the packet it is passed to the filter engine unmodified. .Pp Translation rules apply only to packets that pass through the specified interface, and if no interface is specified, translation is applied to packets on all interfaces. For instance, redirecting port 80 on an external interface to an internal web server will only work for connections originating from the outside. Connections to the address of the external interface from local hosts will not be redirected, since such packets do not actually pass through the external interface. Redirections cannot reflect packets back through the interface they arrive on, they can only be redirected to hosts connected to different interfaces or to the firewall itself. .Pp Note that redirecting external incoming connections to the loopback address, as in .Bd -literal -offset indent rdr on ne3 inet proto tcp to port 8025 -> 127.0.0.1 port 25 .Ed .Pp will effectively allow an external host to connect to daemons bound solely to the loopback address, circumventing the traditional blocking of such connections on a real interface. Unless this effect is desired, any of the local non-loopback addresses should be used as redirection target instead, which allows external connections only to daemons bound to this address or not bound to any address. .Pp See .Sx TRANSLATION EXAMPLES below. .Sh PACKET FILTERING .Xr pf 4 has the ability to .Ar block and .Ar pass packets based on attributes of their layer 3 (see .Xr ip 4 and .Xr ip6 4 ) and layer 4 (see .Xr icmp 4 , .Xr icmp6 4 , .Xr tcp 4 , .Xr udp 4 ) headers. In addition, packets may also be assigned to queues for the purpose of bandwidth control. .Pp For each packet processed by the packet filter, the filter rules are evaluated in sequential order, from first to last. The last matching rule decides what action is taken. .Pp The following actions can be used in the filter: .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Ar block The packet is blocked. There are a number of ways in which a .Ar block rule can behave when blocking a packet. The default behaviour is to .Ar drop packets silently, however this can be overridden or made explicit either globally, by setting the .Ar block-policy option, or on a per-rule basis with one of the following options: .Pp .Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact .It Ar drop The packet is silently dropped. .It Ar return-rst This applies only to .Xr tcp 4 packets, and issues a TCP RST which closes the connection. .It Ar return-icmp .It Ar return-icmp6 This causes ICMP messages to be returned for packets which match the rule. By default this is an ICMP UNREACHABLE message, however this can be overridden by specifying a message as a code or number. .It Ar return This causes a TCP RST to be returned for .Xr tcp 4 packets and an ICMP UNREACHABLE for UDP and other packets. .El .Pp Options returning packets have no effect if .Xr pf 4 operates on a .Xr bridge 4 . .It Ar pass The packet is passed. .El .Pp If no rule matches the packet, the default action is .Ar pass . .Pp To block everything by default and only pass packets that match explicit rules, one uses .Bd -literal -offset indent block all .Ed .Pp as the first filter rule. .Pp See .Sx FILTER EXAMPLES below. .Sh PARAMETERS The rule parameters specify the packets to which a rule applies. A packet always comes in on, or goes out through, one interface. Most parameters are optional. If a parameter is specified, the rule only applies to packets with matching attributes. Certain parameters can be expressed as lists, in which case .Xr pfctl 8 generates all needed rule combinations. .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Ar in No or Ar out This rule applies to incoming or outgoing packets. If neither .Ar in nor .Ar out are specified, the rule will match packets in both directions. .It Ar log In addition to the action specified, a log message is generated. All packets for that connection are logged, unless the .Ar keep state , .Ar modulate state or .Ar synproxy state options are specified, in which case only the packet that establishes the state is logged. (See .Ar keep state , .Ar modulate state and .Ar synproxy state below). The logged packets are sent to the .Xr pflog 4 interface. This interface is monitored by the .Xr pflogd 8 logging daemon, which dumps the logged packets to the file .Pa /var/log/pflog in .Xr pcap 3 binary format. .It Ar log-all Used with .Ar keep state , .Ar modulate state or .Ar synproxy state rules to force logging of all packets for a connection. As with .Ar log , packets are logged to .Xr pflog 4 . .It Ar quick If a packet matches a rule which has the .Ar quick option set, this rule is considered the last matching rule, and evaluation of subsequent rules is skipped. .It Ar on This rule applies only to packets coming in on, or going out through, this particular interface. It is also possible to simply give the interface driver name, like ppp or fxp, to make the rule match packets flowing through a group of interfaces. .It Ar This rule applies only to packets of this address family. Supported values are .Ar inet and .Ar inet6 . .It Ar proto This rule applies only to packets of this protocol. Common protocols are .Xr icmp 4 , .Xr icmp6 4 , .Xr tcp 4 , and .Xr udp 4 . For a list of all the protocol name to number mappings used by .Xr pfctl 8 , see the file .Em /etc/protocols . .It Xo .Ar from port os .Ar to port .Xc This rule applies only to packets with the specified source and destination addresses and ports. .Pp Addresses can be specified in CIDR notation (matching netblocks), as symbolic host names or interface names, or as any of the following keywords: .Pp .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxx -compact .It Ar any Any address. .It Ar no-route Any address which is not currently routable. .It Ar Any address that matches the given table. .El .Pp Interface names can have modifiers appended: .Pp .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxx -compact .It Ar :network Translates to the network(s) attached to the interface. .It Ar :broadcast Translates to the interface's broadcast address(es). .It Ar :peer Translates to the point to point interface's peer address(es). .It Ar :0 Do not include interface aliases. .El .Pp Host names may also have the .Ar :0 option appended to restrict the name resolution to the first of each v4 and v6 address found. .Pp Host name resolution and interface to address translation are done at ruleset load-time. When the address of an interface (or host name) changes (under DHCP or PPP, for instance), the ruleset must be reloaded for the change to be reflected in the kernel. Surrounding the interface name (and optional modifiers) in parentheses changes this behaviour. When the interface name is surrounded by parentheses, the rule is automatically updated whenever the interface changes its address. The ruleset does not need to be reloaded. This is especially useful with .Ar nat . .Pp Ports can be specified either by number or by name. For example, port 80 can be specified as .Em www . For a list of all port name to number mappings used by .Xr pfctl 8 , see the file .Pa /etc/services . .Pp Ports and ranges of ports are specified by using these operators: .Bd -literal -offset indent = (equal) != (unequal) < (less than) <= (less than or equal) > (greater than) >= (greater than or equal) : (range including boundaries) >< (range excluding boundaries) <> (except range) .Ed .Pp ><, <> and : are binary operators (they take two arguments). For instance: .Bl -tag -width Fl .It Ar port 2000:2004 means .Sq all ports >= 2000 and <= 2004 , hence ports 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. .It Ar port 2000 >< 2004 means .Sq all ports > 2000 and < 2004 , hence ports 2001, 2002 and 2003. .It Ar port 2000 <> 2004 means .Sq all ports < 2000 or > 2004 , hence ports 1-1999 and 2005-65535. .El .Pp The operating system of the source host can be specified in the case of TCP rules with the .Ar OS modifier. See the .Sx OPERATING SYSTEM FINGERPRINTING section for more information. .Pp The host, port and OS specifications are optional, as in the following examples: .Bd -literal -offset indent pass in all pass in from any to any pass in proto tcp from any port <= 1024 to any pass in proto tcp from any to any port 25 pass in proto tcp from 10.0.0.0/8 port > 1024 \e to ! 10.1.2.3 port != ssh pass in proto tcp from any os "OpenBSD" flags S/SA .Ed .It Ar all This is equivalent to "from any to any". .It Ar group Similar to .Ar user , this rule only applies to packets of sockets owned by the specified group. .It Ar user This rule only applies to packets of sockets owned by the specified user. For outgoing connections initiated from the firewall, this is the user that opened the connection. For incoming connections to the firewall itself, this is the user that listens on the destination port. For forwarded connections, where the firewall is not a connection endpoint, the user and group are .Em unknown . .Pp All packets, both outgoing and incoming, of one connection are associated with the same user and group. Only TCP and UDP packets can be associated with users; for other protocols these parameters are ignored. .Pp User and group refer to the effective (as opposed to the real) IDs, in case the socket is created by a setuid/setgid process. User and group IDs are stored when a socket is created; when a process creates a listening socket as root (for instance, by binding to a privileged port) and subsequently changes to another user ID (to drop privileges), the credentials will remain root. .Pp User and group IDs can be specified as either numbers or names. The syntax is similar to the one for ports. The value .Em unknown matches packets of forwarded connections. .Em unknown can only be used with the operators .Cm = and .Cm != . Other constructs like .Cm user >= unknown are invalid. Forwarded packets with unknown user and group ID match only rules that explicitly compare against .Em unknown with the operators .Cm = or .Cm != . For instance .Cm user >= 0 does not match forwarded packets. The following example allows only selected users to open outgoing connections: .Bd -literal -offset indent block out proto { tcp, udp } all pass out proto { tcp, udp } all \e user { < 1000, dhartmei } keep state .Ed .It Ar flags / | / This rule only applies to TCP packets that have the flags .Ar set out of set .Ar . Flags not specified in .Ar are ignored. The flags are: (F)IN, (S)YN, (R)ST, (P)USH, (A)CK, (U)RG, (E)CE, and C(W)R. .Bl -tag -width Fl .It Ar flags S/S Flag SYN is set. The other flags are ignored. .It Ar flags S/SA Out of SYN and ACK, exactly SYN may be set. SYN, SYN+PSH and SYN+RST match, but SYN+ACK, ACK and ACK+RST do not. This is more restrictive than the previous example. .It Ar flags /SFRA If the first set is not specified, it defaults to none. All of SYN, FIN, RST and ACK must be unset. .El .It Ar icmp-type code .It Ar icmp6-type code This rule only applies to ICMP or ICMPv6 packets with the specified type and code. This parameter is only valid for rules that cover protocols ICMP or ICMP6. The protocol and the ICMP type indicator (icmp-type or icmp6-type) must match. .It Ar allow-opts By default, packets which contain IP options are blocked. When .Ar allow-opts is specified for a .Ar pass rule, packets that pass the filter based on that rule (last matching) do so even if they contain IP options. For packets that match state, the rule that initially created the state is used. The implicit .Ar pass rule that is used when a packet does not match any rules does not allow IP options. .It Ar label Adds a label (name) to the rule, which can be used to identify the rule. For instance, pfctl -s labels shows per-rule statistics for rules that have labels. .Pp The following macros can be used in labels: .Pp .Bl -tag -width $srcaddr -compact -offset indent .It Ar $if The interface. .It Ar $srcaddr The source IP address. .It Ar $dstaddr The destination IP address. .It Ar $srcport The source port specification. .It Ar $dstport The destination port specification. .It Ar $proto The protocol name. .It Ar $nr The rule number. .El .Pp For example: .Bd -literal -offset indent ips = \&"{ 1.2.3.4, 1.2.3.5 }\&" pass in proto tcp from any to $ips \e port > 1023 label \&"$dstaddr:$dstport\&" .Ed .Pp expands to .Bd -literal -offset indent pass in inet proto tcp from any to 1.2.3.4 \e port > 1023 label \&"1.2.3.4:>1023\&" pass in inet proto tcp from any to 1.2.3.5 \e port > 1023 label \&"1.2.3.5:>1023\&" .Ed .Pp The macro expansion for the .Ar label directive occurs only at configuration file parse time, not during runtime. .It Ar queue | ( , ) Packets matching this rule will be assigned to the specified queue. If two queues are given, packets which have a .Em tos of .Em lowdelay and TCP ACKs with no data payload will be assigned to the second one. See .Sx QUEUEING for setup details. .Pp For example: .Bd -literal -offset indent pass in proto tcp to port 25 queue mail pass in proto tcp to port 22 queue(ssh_bulk, ssh_prio) .Ed .It Ar tag Packets matching this rule will be tagged with the specified string. The tag acts as an internal marker that can be used to identify these packets later on. This can be used, for example, to provide trust between interfaces and to determine if packets have been processed by translation rules. Tags are .Qq sticky , meaning that the packet will be tagged even if the rule is not the last matching rule. Further matching rules can replace the tag with a new one but will not remove a previously applied tag. A packet is only ever assigned one tag at a time. .Ar pass rules that use the .Ar tag keyword must also use .Ar keep state , .Ar modulate state or .Ar synproxy state . Packet tagging can be done during .Ar nat , .Ar rdr , or .Ar binat rules in addition to filter rules. Tags take the same macros as labels (see above). .It Ar tagged Used with filter rules to specify that packets must already be tagged with the given tag in order to match the rule. Inverse tag matching can also be done by specifying the .Cm !\& operator before the .Ar tagged keyword. .It Ar probability A probability attribute can be attached to a rule, with a value set between 0 and 1, bounds not included. In that case, the rule will be honoured using the given probability value only. For example, the following rule will drop 20% of incoming ICMP packets: .Bd -literal -offset indent block in proto icmp probability 20% .Ed .El .Sh ROUTING If a packet matches a rule with a route option set, the packet filter will route the packet according to the type of route option. When such a rule creates state, the route option is also applied to all packets matching the same connection. .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Ar fastroute The .Ar fastroute option does a normal route lookup to find the next hop for the packet. .It Ar route-to The .Ar route-to option routes the packet to the specified interface with an optional address for the next hop. When a .Ar route-to rule creates state, only packets that pass in the same direction as the filter rule specifies will be routed in this way. Packets passing in the opposite direction (replies) are not affected and are routed normally. .It Ar reply-to The .Ar reply-to option is similar to .Ar route-to , but routes packets that pass in the opposite direction (replies) to the specified interface. Opposite direction is only defined in the context of a state entry, and .Ar reply-to is useful only in rules that create state. It can be used on systems with multiple external connections to route all outgoing packets of a connection through the interface the incoming connection arrived through (symmetric routing enforcement). .It Ar dup-to The .Ar dup-to option creates a duplicate of the packet and routes it like .Ar route-to . The original packet gets routed as it normally would. .El .Sh POOL OPTIONS For .Ar nat and .Ar rdr rules, (as well as for the .Ar route-to , .Ar reply-to and .Ar dup-to rule options) for which there is a single redirection address which has a subnet mask smaller than 32 for IPv4 or 128 for IPv6 (more than one IP address), a variety of different methods for assigning this address can be used: .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Ar bitmask The .Ar bitmask option applies the network portion of the redirection address to the address to be modified (source with .Ar nat , destination with .Ar rdr ) . .It Ar random The .Ar random option selects an address at random within the defined block of addresses. .It Ar source-hash The .Ar source-hash option uses a hash of the source address to determine the redirection address, ensuring that the redirection address is always the same for a given source. An optional key can be specified after this keyword either in hex or as a string; by default .Xr pfctl 8 randomly generates a key for source-hash every time the ruleset is reloaded. .It Ar round-robin The .Ar round-robin option loops through the redirection address(es). .Pp When more than one redirection address is specified, .Ar round-robin is the only permitted pool type. .It Ar static-port With .Ar nat rules, the .Ar static-port option prevents .Xr pf 4 from modifying the source port on TCP and UDP packets. .El .Pp Additionally, the .Ar sticky-address option can be specified to help ensure that multiple connections from the same source are mapped to the same redirection address. This option can be used with the .Ar random and .Ar round-robin pool options. Note that by default these associations are destroyed as soon as there are no longer states which refer to them; in order to make the mappings last beyond the lifetime of the states, increase the global options with .Ar set timeout source-track See .Sx STATEFUL TRACKING OPTIONS for more ways to control the source tracking. .Sh STATEFUL INSPECTION .Xr pf 4 is a stateful packet filter, which means it can track the state of a connection. Instead of passing all traffic to port 25, for instance, it is possible to pass only the initial packet, and then begin to keep state. Subsequent traffic will flow because the filter is aware of the connection. .Pp If a packet matches a .Ar pass ... keep state rule, the filter creates a state for this connection and automatically lets pass all subsequent packets of that connection. .Pp Before any rules are evaluated, the filter checks whether the packet matches any state. If it does, the packet is passed without evaluation of any rules. .Pp States are removed after the connection is closed or has timed out. .Pp This has several advantages. Comparing a packet to a state involves checking its sequence numbers. If the sequence numbers are outside the narrow windows of expected values, the packet is dropped. This prevents spoofing attacks, such as when an attacker sends packets with a fake source address/port but does not know the connection's sequence numbers. .Pp Also, looking up states is usually faster than evaluating rules. If there are 50 rules, all of them are evaluated sequentially in O(n). Even with 50000 states, only 16 comparisons are needed to match a state, since states are stored in a binary search tree that allows searches in O(log2 n). .Pp For instance: .Bd -literal -offset indent block all pass out proto tcp from any to any flags S/SA keep state pass in proto tcp from any to any port 25 flags S/SA keep state .Ed .Pp This ruleset blocks everything by default. Only outgoing connections and incoming connections to port 25 are allowed. The initial packet of each connection has the SYN flag set, will be passed and creates state. All further packets of these connections are passed if they match a state. .Pp By default, packets coming in and out of any interface can match a state, but it is also possible to change that behaviour by assigning states to a single interface or a group of interfaces. .Pp The default policy is specified by the .Ar state-policy global option, but this can be adjusted on a per-rule basis by adding one of the .Ar if-bound , .Ar group-bound or .Ar floating keywords to the .Ar keep state option. For example, if a rule is defined as: .Bd -literal -offset indent pass out on ppp from any to 10.12/16 keep state (group-bound) .Ed .Pp A state created on ppp0 would match packets an all PPP interfaces, but not packets flowing through fxp0 or any other interface. .Pp Keeping rules .Ar floating is the more flexible option when the firewall is in a dynamic routing environment. However, this has some security implications since a state created by one trusted network could allow potentially hostile packets coming in from other interfaces. .Pp Specifying .Ar flags S/SA restricts state creation to the initial SYN packet of the TCP handshake. One can also be less restrictive, and allow state creation from intermediate .Pq non-SYN packets. This will cause .Xr pf 4 to synchronize to existing connections, for instance if one flushes the state table. .Pp For UDP, which is stateless by nature, .Ar keep state will create state as well. UDP packets are matched to states using only host addresses and ports. .Pp ICMP messages fall into two categories: ICMP error messages, which always refer to a TCP or UDP packet, are matched against the referred to connection. If one keeps state on a TCP connection, and an ICMP source quench message referring to this TCP connection arrives, it will be matched to the right state and get passed. .Pp For ICMP queries, .Ar keep state creates an ICMP state, and .Xr pf 4 knows how to match ICMP replies to states. For example, .Bd -literal -offset indent pass out inet proto icmp all icmp-type echoreq keep state .Ed .Pp allows echo requests (such as those created by .Xr ping 8 ) out, creates state, and matches incoming echo replies correctly to states. .Pp Note: .Ar nat , binat No and Ar rdr rules implicitly create state for connections. .Sh STATE MODULATION Much of the security derived from TCP is attributable to how well the initial sequence numbers (ISNs) are chosen. Some popular stack implementations choose .Em very poor ISNs and thus are normally susceptible to ISN prediction exploits. By applying a .Ar modulate state rule to a TCP connection, .Xr pf 4 will create a high quality random sequence number for each connection endpoint. .Pp The .Ar modulate state directive implicitly keeps state on the rule and is only applicable to TCP connections. .Pp For instance: .Bd -literal -offset indent block all pass out proto tcp from any to any modulate state pass in proto tcp from any to any port 25 flags S/SA modulate state .Ed .Pp There are two caveats associated with state modulation: A .Ar modulate state rule can not be applied to a pre-existing but unmodulated connection. Such an application would desynchronize TCP's strict sequencing between the two endpoints. Instead, .Xr pf 4 will treat the .Ar modulate state modifier as a .Ar keep state modifier and the pre-existing connection will be inferred without the protection conferred by modulation. .Pp The other caveat affects currently modulated states when the state table is lost (firewall reboot, flushing the state table, etc...). .Xr pf 4 will not be able to infer a connection again after the state table flushes the connection's modulator. When the state is lost, the connection may be left dangling until the respective endpoints time out the connection. It is possible on a fast local network for the endpoints to start an ACK storm while trying to resynchronize after the loss of the modulator. Using a .Ar flags S/SA modifier on .Ar modulate state rules between fast networks is suggested to prevent ACK storms. .Sh SYN PROXY By default, .Xr pf 4 passes packets that are part of a .Xr tcp 4 handshake between the endpoints. The .Ar synproxy state option can be used to cause .Xr pf 4 itself to complete the handshake with the active endpoint, perform a handshake with the passive endpoint, and then forward packets between the endpoints. .Pp No packets are sent to the passive endpoint before the active endpoint has completed the handshake, hence so-called SYN floods with spoofed source addresses will not reach the passive endpoint, as the sender can't complete the handshake. .Pp The proxy is transparent to both endpoints, they each see a single connection from/to the other endpoint. .Xr pf 4 chooses random initial sequence numbers for both handshakes. Once the handshakes are completed, the sequence number modulators (see previous section) are used to translate further packets of the connection. Hence, .Ar synproxy state includes .Ar modulate state and .Ar keep state . .Pp Rules with .Ar synproxy will not work if .Xr pf 4 operates on a .Xr bridge 4 . .Pp Example: .Bd -literal -offset indent pass in proto tcp from any to any port www flags S/SA synproxy state .Ed .Sh STATEFUL TRACKING OPTIONS All three of .Ar keep state , .Ar modulate state and .Ar synproxy state support the following options: .Pp .Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact .It Ar max Limits the number of concurrent states the rule may create. When this limit is reached, further packets matching the rule that would create state are dropped, until existing states time out. .It Ar no-sync Prevent state changes for states created by this rule from appearing on the .Xr pfsync 4 interface. .It Ar Changes the timeout values used for states created by this rule. .El .Pp When the .Ar source-track keyword is specified, the number of states per source IP is tracked. The following limits can be set: .Pp .Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact .It Ar max-src-nodes Limits the maximum number of source addresses which can simultaneously have state table entries. .It Ar max-src-states Limits the maximum number of simultaneous state entries that a single source address can create with this rule. .El .Pp For a list of all valid timeout names, see .Sx OPTIONS above. .Pp Multiple options can be specified, separated by commas: .Bd -literal pass in proto tcp from any to any \e port www flags S/SA keep state \e (max 100, source-track rule, max-src-nodes 75, \e max-src-states 3, tcp.established 60, tcp.closing 5) .Ed .Sh OPERATING SYSTEM FINGERPRINTING Passive OS Fingerprinting is a mechanism to inspect nuances of a TCP connection's initial SYN packet and guess at the host's operating system. Unfortunately these nuances are easily spoofed by an attacker so the fingerprint is not useful in making security decisions. But the fingerprint is typically accurate enough to make policy decisions upon. .Pp The fingerprints may be specified by operating system class, by version, or by subtype/patchlevel. The class of an operating system is typically the vendor or genre and would be OpenBSD for the .Xr pf 4 firewall itself. The version of the oldest available OpenBSD release on the main ftp site would be 2.6 and the fingerprint would be written .Pp .Dl \&"OpenBSD 2.6\&" .Pp The subtype of an operating system is typically used to describe the patchlevel if that patch led to changes in the TCP stack behavior. In the case of OpenBSD, the only subtype is for a fingerprint that was normalized by the .Ar no-df scrub option and would be specified as .Pp .Dl \&"OpenBSD 3.3 no-df\&" .Pp Fingerprints for most popular operating systems are provided by .Xr pf.os 5 . Once .Xr pf 4 is running, a complete list of known operating system fingerprints may be listed by running: .Pp .Dl # pfctl -so .Pp Filter rules can enforce policy at any level of operating system specification assuming a fingerprint is present. Policy could limit traffic to approved operating systems or even ban traffic from hosts that aren't at the latest service pack. .Pp The .Ar unknown class can also be used as the fingerprint which will match packets for which no operating system fingerprint is known. .Pp Examples: .Bd -literal -offset indent pass out proto tcp from any os OpenBSD keep state block out proto tcp from any os Doors block out proto tcp from any os "Doors PT" block out proto tcp from any os "Doors PT SP3" block out from any os "unknown" pass on lo0 proto tcp from any os "OpenBSD 3.3 lo0" keep state .Ed .Pp Operating system fingerprinting is limited only to the TCP SYN packet. This means that it will not work on other protocols and will not match a currently established connection. .Pp Caveat: operating system fingerprints are occasionally wrong. There are three problems: an attacker can trivially craft his packets to appear as any operating system he chooses; an operating system patch could change the stack behavior and no fingerprints will match it until the database is updated; and multiple operating systems may have the same fingerprint. .Sh BLOCKING SPOOFED TRAFFIC "Spoofing" is the faking of IP addresses, typically for malicious purposes. The .Ar antispoof directive expands to a set of filter rules which will block all traffic with a source IP from the network(s) directly connected to the specified interface(s) from entering the system through any other interface. .Pp For example, the line .Bd -literal -offset indent antispoof for lo0 .Ed .Pp expands to .Bd -literal -offset indent block drop in on ! lo0 inet from 127.0.0.1/8 to any block drop in on ! lo0 inet6 from ::1 to any .Ed .Pp For non-loopback interfaces, there are additional rules to block incoming packets with a source IP address identical to the interface's IP(s). For example, assuming the interface wi0 had an IP address of 10.0.0.1 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0, the line .Bd -literal -offset indent antispoof for wi0 inet .Ed .Pp expands to .Bd -literal -offset indent block drop in on ! wi0 inet from 10.0.0.0/24 to any block drop in inet from 10.0.0.1 to any .Ed .Pp Caveat: Rules created by the .Ar antispoof directive interfere with packets sent over loopback interfaces to local addresses. One should pass these explicitly. .Sh FRAGMENT HANDLING The size of IP datagrams (packets) can be significantly larger than the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the network. In cases when it is necessary or more efficient to send such large packets, the large packet will be fragmented into many smaller packets that will each fit onto the wire. Unfortunately for a firewalling device, only the first logical fragment will contain the necessary header information for the subprotocol that allows .Xr pf 4 to filter on things such as TCP ports or to perform NAT. .Pp Besides the use of .Ar scrub rules as described in .Sx TRAFFIC NORMALIZATION above, there are three options for handling fragments in the packet filter. .Pp One alternative is to filter individual fragments with filter rules. If no .Ar scrub rule applies to a fragment, it is passed to the filter. Filter rules with matching IP header parameters decide whether the fragment is passed or blocked, in the same way as complete packets are filtered. Without reassembly, fragments can only be filtered based on IP header fields (source/destination address, protocol), since subprotocol header fields are not available (TCP/UDP port numbers, ICMP code/type). The .Ar fragment option can be used to restrict filter rules to apply only to fragments, but not complete packets. Filter rules without the .Ar fragment option still apply to fragments, if they only specify IP header fields. For instance, the rule .Bd -literal -offset indent pass in proto tcp from any to any port 80 .Ed .Pp never applies to a fragment, even if the fragment is part of a TCP packet with destination port 80, because without reassembly this information is not available for each fragment. This also means that fragments cannot create new or match existing state table entries, which makes stateful filtering and address translation (NAT, redirection) for fragments impossible. .Pp It's also possible to reassemble only certain fragments by specifying source or destination addresses or protocols as parameters in .Ar scrub rules. .Pp In most cases, the benefits of reassembly outweigh the additional memory cost, and it's recommended to use .Ar scrub rules to reassemble all fragments via the .Ar fragment reassemble modifier. .Pp The memory allocated for fragment caching can be limited using .Xr pfctl 8 . Once this limit is reached, fragments that would have to be cached are dropped until other entries time out. The timeout value can also be adjusted. .Pp Currently, only IPv4 fragments are supported and IPv6 fragments are blocked unconditionally. .Sh ANCHORS AND NAMED RULESETS Besides the main ruleset, .Xr pfctl 8 can load named rulesets into .Ar anchor attachment points. An .Ar anchor contains a list of named rulesets. An .Ar anchor has a name which specifies where .Xr pfctl 8 can be used to attach sub-rulesets. A named ruleset contains filter and translation rules, like the main ruleset. The main ruleset can reference .Ar anchor attachment points using the following kinds of rules: .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Ar nat-anchor Evaluates the .Ar nat rules of all named rulesets in the specified .Ar anchor . .It Ar rdr-anchor Evaluates the .Ar rdr rules of all named rulesets in the specified .Ar anchor . .It Ar binat-anchor Evaluates the .Ar binat rules of all named rulesets in the specified .Ar anchor . .It Ar anchor Evaluates the filter rules of all named rulesets in the specified .Ar anchor . .It Ar load anchor : from Loads the rules from the specified file into the named ruleset .Ar attached to the anchor .Ar . .El .Pp When evaluation of the main ruleset reaches an .Ar anchor rule, .Xr pf 4 will proceed to evaluate all rules specified in the named rulesets attached to that .Ar anchor . .Pp Matching filter rules in named rulesets with the .Ar quick option and matching translation rules are final and abort the evaluation of both the rules in the .Ar anchor and the main ruleset. .Pp Only the main ruleset can contain .Ar anchor rules. .Pp When an .Ar anchor contains more than one named ruleset, they are evaluated in the alphabetical order of their names. .Pp Rules may contain .Ar anchor attachment points which do not contain any rules when the main ruleset is loaded, and later such named rulesets can be manipulated through .Xr pfctl 8 without reloading the main ruleset. For example, .Bd -literal -offset indent ext_if = \&"kue0\&" block on $ext_if all anchor spam pass out on $ext_if all keep state pass in on $ext_if proto tcp from any \e to $ext_if port smtp keep state .Ed .Pp blocks all packets on the external interface by default, then evaluates all rulesets in the .Ar anchor named "spam", and finally passes all outgoing connections and incoming connections to port 25. .Bd -literal -offset indent # echo \&"block in quick from 1.2.3.4 to any\&" \&| \e pfctl -a spam:manual -f - .Ed .Pp loads a single ruleset containing a single rule into the .Ar anchor , which blocks all packets from a specific address. .Pp The named ruleset can also be populated by adding a .Ar load anchor rule after the .Ar anchor rule: .Bd -literal -offset indent anchor spam load anchor spam:manual from "/etc/pf-spam.conf" .Ed .Pp When .Xr pfctl 8 loads .Nm pf.conf , it will also load all the rules from the file .Pa /etc/pf-spam.conf into the named ruleset. .Pp Optionally, .Ar anchor rules can specify the parameter's direction, interface, address family, protocol and source/destination address/port using the same syntax as filter rules. When parameters are used, the .Ar anchor rule is only evaluated for matching packets. This allows conditional evaluation of named rulesets, like: .Bd -literal -offset indent block on $ext_if all anchor spam proto tcp from any to any port smtp pass out on $ext_if all keep state pass in on $ext_if proto tcp from any to $ext_if port smtp keep state .Ed .Pp The rules inside .Ar anchor spam are only evaluated for .Ar tcp packets with destination port 25.

This has the net effect of making traffic from the 192.168.168.0/24 network appear as though it is the Internet routable address 204.92.77.111 to nodes behind any interface on the router except for the nodes on vlan12. (Thus, 192.168.168.1 can talk to the 192.168.168.0/24 nodes.) .Bd -literal nat on ! vlan12 from 192.168.168.0/24 to any -> 204.92.77.111 .Ed .Pp In the example below, the machine sits between a fake internal 144.19.74.* network, and a routable external IP of 204.92.77.100. The .Ar no nat rule excludes protocol AH from being translated. .Bd -literal # NO NAT no nat on $ext_if proto ah from 144.19.74.0/24 to any nat on $ext_if from 144.19.74.0/24 to any -> 204.92.77.100 .Ed .Pp In the example below, packets bound for one specific server, as well as those generated by the sysadmins are not proxied; all other connections are. .Bd -literal # NO RDR no rdr on $int_if proto { tcp, udp } from any to $server port 80 no rdr on $int_if proto { tcp, udp } from $sysadmins to any port 80 rdr on $int_if proto { tcp, udp } from any to any port 80 -> 127.0.0.1 \e port 80 .Ed .Pp This longer example uses both a NAT and a redirection. The external interface has the address 157.161.48.183.
