32.Dt PF.CONF 5
33.Os
34.Sh NAME
35.Nm pf.conf
36.Nd packet filter configuration file
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The
39.Xr pf 4
40packet filter modifies, drops or passes packets according to rules or
41definitions specified in
42.Nm pf.conf .
43.Sh STATEMENT ORDER
44There are seven types of statements in
45.Nm pf.conf :
46.Bl -tag -width xxxx
47.It Cm Macros
48User-defined variables may be defined and used later, simplifying
49the configuration file.
50Macros must be defined before they are referenced in
51.Nm pf.conf .
52.It Cm Tables
53Tables provide a mechanism for increasing the performance and flexibility of
54rules with large numbers of source or destination addresses.
55.It Cm Options
56Options tune the behaviour of the packet filtering engine.
57.It Cm Traffic Normalization Li (e.g. Em scrub )
58Traffic normalization protects internal machines against inconsistencies
59in Internet protocols and implementations.
60.It Cm Queueing
61Queueing provides rule-based bandwidth control.
62.It Cm Translation Li (Various forms of NAT)
63Translation rules specify how addresses are to be mapped or redirected to
64other addresses.
65.It Cm Packet Filtering
66Stateful and stateless packet filtering provides rule-based blocking or
67passing of packets.
68.El
69.Pp
70With the exception of
71.Cm macros
72and
73.Cm tables ,
74the types of statements should be grouped and appear in
75.Nm pf.conf
76in the order shown above, as this matches the operation of the underlying
77packet filtering engine.
78By default
79.Xr pfctl 8
80enforces this order (see
81.Ar set require-order
82below).
83.Sh MACROS
84Much like
85.Xr cpp 1
86or
87.Xr m4 1 ,
88macros can be defined that will later be expanded in context.
89Macro names must start with a letter, and may contain letters, digits
90and underscores.
91Macro names may not be reserved words (for example
92.Ar pass ,
93.Ar in ,
94.Ar out ) .
95Macros are not expanded inside quotes.
96.Pp
97For example,
98.Bd -literal -offset indent
99ext_if = \&"kue0\&"
100all_ifs = \&"{\&" $ext_if lo0 \&"}\&"
101pass out on $ext_if from any to any keep state
102pass in  on $ext_if proto tcp from any to any port 25 keep state
103.Ed
104.Sh TABLES
105Tables are named structures which can hold a collection of addresses and
106networks.
107Lookups against tables in
108.Xr pf 4
109are relatively fast, making a single rule with tables much more efficient,
110in terms of
111processor usage and memory consumption, than a large number of rules which
112differ only in IP address (either created explicitly or automatically by rule
113expansion).
114.Pp
115Tables can be used as the source or destination of filter rules,
116.Ar scrub
117rules
118or
119translation rules such as
120.Ar nat
121or
122.Ar rdr
123(see below for details on the various rule types).
124Tables can also be used for the redirect address of
125.Ar nat
126and
127.Ar rdr
128rules and in the routing options of filter rules, but only for
129.Ar round-robin
130pools.
131.Pp
132Tables can be defined with any of the following
133.Xr pfctl 8
134mechanisms.
135As with macros, reserved words may not be used as table names.
136.Bl -tag -width "manually"
137.It Ar manually
138Persistent tables can be manually created with the
139.Ar add
140or
141.Ar replace
142option of
143.Xr pfctl 8 ,
144before or after the ruleset has been loaded.
145.It Pa pf.conf
146Table definitions can be placed directly in this file, and loaded at the
147same time as other rules are loaded, atomically.
148Table definitions inside
149.Nm pf.conf
150use the
151.Ar table
152statement, and are especially useful to define non-persistent tables.
153The contents of a pre-existing table defined without a list of addresses
154to initialize it is not altered when
155.Nm pf.conf
156is loaded.
157A table initialized with the empty list,
158.Li { } ,
159will be cleared on load.
160.El
161.Pp
162Tables may be defined with the following two attributes:
163.Bl -tag -width persist
164.It Ar persist
165The
166.Ar persist
167flag forces the kernel to keep the table even when no rules refer to it.
168If the flag is not set, the kernel will automatically remove the table
169when the last rule referring to it is flushed.
170.It Ar const
171The
172.Ar const
173flag prevents the user from altering the contents of the table once it
174has been created.
175Without that flag,
176.Xr pfctl 8
177can be used to add or remove addresses from the table at any time, even
178when running with securelevel = 2.
179.El
180.Pp
181For example,
182.Bd -literal -offset indent
183table <private> const { 10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16 }
184table <badhosts> persist
185block on fxp0 from { <private>, <badhosts> } to any
186.Ed
187.Pp
188creates a table called private, to hold RFC 1918 private network
189blocks, and a table called badhosts, which is initially empty.
190A filter rule is set up to block all traffic coming from addresses listed in
191either table.
192The private table cannot have its contents changed and the badhosts table
193will exist even when no active filter rules reference it.
194Addresses may later be added to the badhosts table, so that traffic from
195these hosts can be blocked by using
196.Bd -literal -offset indent
197# pfctl -t badhosts -Tadd 204.92.77.111
198.Ed
199.Pp
200A table can also be initialized with an address list specified in one or more
201external files, using the following syntax:
202.Bd -literal -offset indent
203table <spam> persist file \&"/etc/spammers\&" file \&"/etc/openrelays\&"
204block on fxp0 from <spam> to any
205.Ed
206.Pp
207The files
208.Pa /etc/spammers
209and
210.Pa /etc/openrelays
211list IP addresses, one per line.
212Any lines beginning with a # are treated as comments and ignored.
213In addition to being specified by IP address, hosts may also be
214specified by their hostname.
215When the resolver is called to add a hostname to a table,
216.Em all
217resulting IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are placed into the table.
218IP addresses can also be entered in a table by specifying a valid interface
219name or the
220.Em self
221keyword, in which case all addresses assigned to the interface(s) will be
222added to the table.
223.Sh OPTIONS
224.Xr pf 4
225may be tuned for various situations using the
226.Ar set
227command.
228.Bl -tag -width xxxx
229.It Ar set timeout
230.Pp
231.Bl -tag -width "src.track" -compact
232.It Ar interval
233Interval between purging expired states and fragments.
234.It Ar frag
235Seconds before an unassembled fragment is expired.
236.It Ar src.track
237Length of time to retain a source tracking entry after the last state
238expires.
239.El
240.Pp
241When a packet matches a stateful connection, the seconds to live for the
242connection will be updated to that of the
243.Ar proto.modifier
244which corresponds to the connection state.
245Each packet which matches this state will reset the TTL.
246Tuning these values may improve the performance of the
247firewall at the risk of dropping valid idle connections.
248.Pp
249.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
250.It Ar tcp.first
251The state after the first packet.
252.It Ar tcp.opening
253The state before the destination host ever sends a packet.
254.It Ar tcp.established
255The fully established state.
256.It Ar tcp.closing
257The state after the first FIN has been sent.
258.It Ar tcp.finwait
259The state after both FINs have been exchanged and the connection is closed.
260Some hosts (notably web servers on Solaris) send TCP packets even after closing
261the connection.
262Increasing
263.Ar tcp.finwait
264(and possibly
265.Ar tcp.closing )
266can prevent blocking of such packets.
267.It Ar tcp.closed
268The state after one endpoint sends an RST.
269.El
270.Pp
271ICMP and UDP are handled in a fashion similar to TCP, but with a much more
272limited set of states:
273.Pp
274.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
275.It Ar udp.first
276The state after the first packet.
277.It Ar udp.single
278The state if the source host sends more than one packet but the destination
279host has never sent one back.
280.It Ar udp.multiple
281The state if both hosts have sent packets.
282.It Ar icmp.first
283The state after the first packet.
284.It Ar icmp.error
285The state after an ICMP error came back in response to an ICMP packet.
286.El
287.Pp
288Other protocols are handled similarly to UDP:
289.Pp
290.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
291.It Ar other.first
292.It Ar other.single
293.It Ar other.multiple
294.El
295.Pp
296Timeout values can be reduced adaptively as the number of state table
297entries grows.
298.Pp
299.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
300.It Ar adaptive.start
301When the number of state entries exceeds this value, adaptive scaling
302begins.
303All timeout values are scaled linearly with factor
304(adaptive.end - number of states) / (adaptive.end - adaptive.start).
305.It Ar adaptive.end
306When reaching this number of state entries, all timeout values become
307zero, effectively purging all state entries immediately.
308This value is used to define the scale factor, it should not actually
309be reached (set a lower state limit, see below).
310.El
311.Pp
312These values can be defined both globally and for each rule.
313When used on a per-rule basis, the values relate to the number of
314states created by the rule, otherwise to the total number of
315states.
316.Pp
317For example:
318.Bd -literal -offset indent
319set timeout tcp.first 120
320set timeout tcp.established 86400
321set timeout { adaptive.start 6000, adaptive.end 12000 }
322set limit states 10000
323.Ed
324.Pp
325With 9000 state table entries, the timeout values are scaled to 50%
326(tcp.first 60, tcp.established 43200).
327.Pp
328.It Ar set loginterface
329Enable collection of packet and byte count statistics for the given interface.
330These statistics can be viewed using
331.Bd -literal -offset indent
332# pfctl -s info
333.Ed
334.Pp
335In this example
336.Xr pf 4
337collects statistics on the interface named dc0:
338.Bd -literal -offset indent
339set loginterface dc0
340.Ed
341.Pp
342One can disable the loginterface using:
343.Bd -literal -offset indent
344set loginterface none
345.Ed
346.Pp
347.It Ar set limit
348Sets hard limits on the memory pools used by the packet filter.
349See
350.Xr pool 9
351for an explanation of memory pools.
352.Pp
353For example,
354.Bd -literal -offset indent
355set limit states 20000
356.Ed
357.Pp
358sets the maximum number of entries in the memory pool used by state table
359entries (generated by
360.Ar keep state
361rules) to 20000.
362Using
363.Bd -literal -offset indent
364set limit frags 20000
365.Ed
366.Pp
367sets the maximum number of entries in the memory pool used for fragment
368reassembly (generated by
369.Ar scrub
370rules) to 20000.
371Finally,
372.Bd -literal -offset indent
373set limit src-nodes 2000
374.Ed
375.Pp
376sets the maximum number of entries in the memory pool used for tracking
377source IP addresses (generated by the
378.Ar sticky-address
379and
380.Ar source-track
381options) to 2000.
382.Pp
383These can be combined:
384.Bd -literal -offset indent
385set limit { states 20000, frags 20000, src-nodes 2000 }
386.Ed
387.Pp
388.It Ar set optimization
389Optimize the engine for one of the following network environments:
390.Pp
391.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
392.It Ar normal
393A normal network environment.
394Suitable for almost all networks.
395.It Ar high-latency
396A high-latency environment (such as a satellite connection).
397.It Ar satellite
398Alias for
399.Ar high-latency .
400.It Ar aggressive
401Aggressively expire connections.
402This can greatly reduce the memory usage of the firewall at the cost of
403dropping idle connections early.
404.It Ar conservative
405Extremely conservative settings.
406Avoid dropping legitimate connections at the
407expense of greater memory utilization (possibly much greater on a busy
408network) and slightly increased processor utilization.
409.El
410.Pp
411For example:
412.Bd -literal -offset indent
413set optimization aggressive
414.Ed
415.Pp
416.It Ar set block-policy
417The
418.Ar block-policy
419option sets the default behaviour for the packet
420.Ar block
421action:
422.Pp
423.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxx -compact
424.It Ar drop
425Packet is silently dropped.
426.It Ar return
427A TCP RST is returned for blocked TCP packets,
428an ICMP UNREACHABLE is returned for blocked UDP packets,
429and all other packets are silently dropped.
430.El
431.Pp
432For example:
433.Bd -literal -offset indent
434set block-policy return
435.Ed
436.It Ar set state-policy
437The
438.Ar state-policy
439option sets the default behaviour for states:
440.Pp
441.Bl -tag -width group-bound -compact
442.It Ar if-bound
443States are bound to interface.
444.It Ar group-bound
445States are bound to interface group (i.e. ppp)
446.It Ar floating
447States can match packets on any interfaces (the default).
448.El
449.Pp
450For example:
451.Bd -literal -offset indent
452set state-policy if-bound
453.Ed
454.It Ar set require-order
455By default
456.Xr pfctl 8
457enforces an ordering of the statement types in the ruleset to:
458.Em options ,
459.Em normalization ,
460.Em queueing ,
461.Em translation ,
462.Em filtering .
463Setting this option to
464.Ar no
465disables this enforcement.
466There may be non-trivial and non-obvious implications to an out of
467order ruleset.
468Consider carefully before disabling the order enforcement.
469.It Ar set fingerprints
470Load fingerprints of known operating systems from the given filename.
471By default fingerprints of known operating systems are automatically
472loaded from
473.Xr pf.os 5
474in
475.Pa /etc
476but can be overridden via this option.
477Setting this option may leave a small period of time where the fingerprints
478referenced by the currently active ruleset are inconsistent until the new
479ruleset finishes loading.
480.Pp
481For example:
482.Pp
483.Dl set fingerprints \&"/etc/pf.os.devel\&"
484.Pp
485.It Ar set skip on <ifspec>
486List interfaces for which packets should not be filtered.
487Packets passing in or out on such interfaces are passed as if pf was
488disabled, i.e. pf does not process them in any way.
489This can be useful on loopback and other virtual interfaces, when
490packet filtering is not desired and can have unexpected effects.
491For example:
492.Pp
493.Dl set skip on lo0
494.Pp
495.It Ar set debug
496Set the debug
497.Ar level
498to one of the following:
499.Pp
500.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxx -compact
501.It Ar none
502Don't generate debug messages.
503.It Ar urgent
504Generate debug messages only for serious errors.
505.It Ar misc
506Generate debug messages for various errors.
507.It Ar loud
508Generate debug messages for common conditions.
509.El
510.El
511.Sh TRAFFIC NORMALIZATION
512Traffic normalization is used to sanitize packet content in such
513a way that there are no ambiguities in packet interpretation on
514the receiving side.
515The normalizer does IP fragment reassembly to prevent attacks
516that confuse intrusion detection systems by sending overlapping
517IP fragments.
518Packet normalization is invoked with the
519.Ar scrub
520directive.
521.Pp
522.Ar scrub
523has the following options:
524.Bl -tag -width xxxx
525.It Ar no-df
526Clears the
527.Ar dont-fragment
528bit from a matching IP packet.
529Some operating systems are known to generate fragmented packets with the
530.Ar dont-fragment
531bit set.
532This is particularly true with NFS.
533.Ar Scrub
534will drop such fragmented
535.Ar dont-fragment
536packets unless
537.Ar no-df
538is specified.
539.Pp
540Unfortunately some operating systems also generate their
541.Ar dont-fragment
542packets with a zero IP identification field.
543Clearing the
544.Ar dont-fragment
545bit on packets with a zero IP ID may cause deleterious results if an
546upstream router later fragments the packet.
547Using the
548.Ar random-id
549modifier (see below) is recommended in combination with the
550.Ar no-df
551modifier to ensure unique IP identifiers.
552.It Ar min-ttl <number>
553Enforces a minimum TTL for matching IP packets.
554.It Ar max-mss <number>
555Enforces a maximum MSS for matching TCP packets.
556.It Ar random-id
557Replaces the IP identification field with random values to compensate
558for predictable values generated by many hosts.
559This option only applies to packets that are not fragmented
560after the optional fragment reassembly.
561.It Ar fragment reassemble
562Using
563.Ar scrub
564rules, fragments can be reassembled by normalization.
565In this case, fragments are buffered until they form a complete
566packet, and only the completed packet is passed on to the filter.
567The advantage is that filter rules have to deal only with complete
568packets, and can ignore fragments.
569The drawback of caching fragments is the additional memory cost.
570But the full reassembly method is the only method that currently works
571with NAT.
572This is the default behavior of a
573.Ar scrub
574rule if no fragmentation modifier is supplied.
575.It Ar fragment crop
576The default fragment reassembly method is expensive, hence the option
577to crop is provided.
578In this case,
579.Xr pf 4
580will track the fragments and cache a small range descriptor.
581Duplicate fragments are dropped and overlaps are cropped.
582Thus data will only occur once on the wire with ambiguities resolving to
583the first occurrence.
584Unlike the
585.Ar fragment reassemble
586modifier, fragments are not buffered, they are passed as soon as they
587are received.
588The
589.Ar fragment crop
590reassembly mechanism does not yet work with NAT.
591.Pp
592.It Ar fragment drop-ovl
593This option is similar to the
594.Ar fragment crop
595modifier except that all overlapping or duplicate fragments will be
596dropped, and all further corresponding fragments will be
597dropped as well.
598.It Ar reassemble tcp
599Statefully normalizes TCP connections.
600.Ar scrub reassemble tcp
601rules may not have the direction (in/out) specified.
602.Ar reassemble tcp
603performs the following normalizations:
604.Pp
605.Bl -tag -width timeout -compact
606.It ttl
607Neither side of the connection is allowed to reduce their IP TTL.
608An attacker may send a packet such that it reaches the firewall, affects
609the firewall state, and expires before reaching the destination host.
610.Ar reassemble tcp
611will raise the TTL of all packets back up to the highest value seen on
612the connection.
613.It timestamp modulation
614Modern TCP stacks will send a timestamp on every TCP packet and echo
615the other endpoint's timestamp back to them.
616Many operating systems will merely start the timestamp at zero when
617first booted, and increment it several times a second.
618The uptime of the host can be deduced by reading the timestamp and multiplying
619by a constant.
620Also observing several different timestamps can be used to count hosts
621behind a NAT device.
622And spoofing TCP packets into a connection requires knowing or guessing
623valid timestamps.
624Timestamps merely need to be monotonically increasing and not derived off a
625guessable base time.
626.Ar reassemble tcp
627will cause
628.Ar scrub
629to modulate the TCP timestamps with a random number.
630.It extended PAWS checks
631There is a problem with TCP on long fat pipes, in that a packet might get
632delayed for longer than it takes the connection to wrap its 32-bit sequence
633space.
634In such an occurrence, the old packet would be indistinguishable from a
635new packet and would be accepted as such.
636The solution to this is called PAWS: Protection Against Wrapped Sequence
637numbers.
638It protects against it by making sure the timestamp on each packet does
639not go backwards.
640.Ar reassemble tcp
641also makes sure the timestamp on the packet does not go forward more
642than the RFC allows.
643By doing this,
644.Xr pf 4
645artificially extends the security of TCP sequence numbers by 10 to 18
646bits when the host uses appropriately randomized timestamps, since a
647blind attacker would have to guess the timestamp as well.

655.Pp
656The
657.Ar no
658option prefixed to a scrub rule causes matching packets to remain unscrubbed,
659much in the same way as
660.Ar drop quick
661works in the packet filter (see below).
662This mechanism should be used when it is necessary to exclude specific packets
663from broader scrub rules.
664.Sh QUEUEING
665Packets can be assigned to queues for the purpose of bandwidth
666control.
667At least two declarations are required to configure queues, and later
668any packet filtering rule can reference the defined queues by name.
669During the filtering component of
670.Nm pf.conf ,
671the last referenced
672.Ar queue
673name is where any packets from
674.Ar pass
675rules will be queued, while for
676.Ar block
677rules it specifies where any resulting ICMP or TCP RST
678packets should be queued.
679The
680.Ar scheduler
681defines the algorithm used to decide which packets get delayed, dropped, or
682sent out immediately.
683There are three
684.Ar schedulers
685currently supported.
686.Bl -tag -width xxxx
687.It Ar cbq
688Class Based Queueing.
689.Ar Queues
690attached to an interface build a tree, thus each
691.Ar queue
692can have further child
693.Ar queues .
694Each queue can have a
695.Ar priority
696and a
697.Ar bandwidth
698assigned.
699.Ar Priority
700mainly controls the time packets take to get sent out, while
701.Ar bandwidth
702has primarily effects on throughput.
703.Ar cbq
704achieves both partitioning and sharing of link bandwidth
705by hierarchically structured classes.
706Each class has its own
707.Ar queue
708and is assigned its share of
709.Ar bandwidth .
710A child class can borrow bandwidth from its parent class
711as long as excess bandwidth is available
712(see the option
713.Ar borrow ,
714below).
715.It Ar priq
716Priority Queueing.
717.Ar Queues
718are flat attached to the interface, thus,
719.Ar queues
720cannot have further child
721.Ar queues .
722Each
723.Ar queue
724has a unique
725.Ar priority
726assigned, ranging from 0 to 15.
727Packets in the
728.Ar queue
729with the highest
730.Ar priority
731are processed first.

734.Ar Queues

736.Ar queue
737can have further child
738.Ar queues .
739Each queue can have a
740.Ar priority
741and a
742.Ar bandwidth
743assigned.
744.Ar Priority
745mainly controls the time packets take to get sent out, while
746.Ar bandwidth
747has primarily effects on throughput.
748.Ar hfsc
749supports both link-sharing and guaranteed real-time services.
750It employs a service curve based QoS model,
751and its unique feature is an ability to decouple
752.Ar delay

758The interfaces on which queueing should be activated are declared using
759the

762.Ar altq on
763has the following keywords:
764.Bl -tag -width xxxx
765.It Ar <interface>
766Queueing is enabled on the named interface.
767.It Ar <scheduler>
768Specifies which queueing scheduler to use.
769Currently supported values
770are
771.Ar cbq
772for Class Based Queueing,
773.Ar priq
774for Priority Queueing and
775.Ar hfsc
776for the Hierarchical Fair Service Curve scheduler.
777.It Ar bandwidth <bw>
778The maximum bitrate for all queues on an
779interface may be specified using the
780.Ar bandwidth
781keyword.
782The value can be specified as an absolute value or as a
783percentage of the interface bandwidth.
784When using an absolute value, the suffixes
785.Ar b ,
786.Ar Kb ,
787.Ar Mb ,
788and
789.Ar Gb
790are used to represent bits, kilobits, megabits, and
791gigabits per second, respectively.
792The value must not exceed the interface bandwidth.
793If
794.Ar bandwidth

796.It Ar qlimit <limit>
797The maximum number of packets held in the queue.
798The default is 50.
799.It Ar tbrsize <size>
800Adjusts the size, in bytes, of the token bucket regulator.
801If not specified, heuristics based on the
802interface bandwidth are used to determine the size.
803.It Ar queue <list>
804Defines a list of subqueues to create on an interface.
805.El
806.Pp
807In the following example, the interface dc0

817directive, a sequence of
818.Ar queue
819directives may be defined.
820The name associated with a
821.Ar queue
822must match a queue defined in the

824directive (e.g. mail), or, except for the
825.Ar priq
826.Ar scheduler ,
827in a parent
828.Ar queue
829declaration.
830The following keywords can be used:
831.Bl -tag -width xxxx
832.It Ar on <interface>
833Specifies the interface the queue operates on.
834If not given, it operates on all matching interfaces.
835.It Ar bandwidth <bw>
836Specifies the maximum bitrate to be processed by the queue.
837This value must not exceed the value of the parent
838.Ar queue
839and can be specified as an absolute value or a percentage of the parent
840queue's bandwidth.
841If not specified, defaults to 100% of the parent queue's bandwidth.
842The
843.Ar priq
844scheduler does not support bandwidth specification.
845.It Ar priority <level>
846Between queues a priority level can be set.
847For
848.Ar cbq

850.Ar hfsc ,
851the range is 0 to 7 and for
852.Ar priq ,
853the range is 0 to 15.
854The default for all is 1.
855.Ar Priq
856queues with a higher priority are always served first.
857.Ar Cbq

860queues with a higher priority are preferred in the case of overload.

872.It Ar default
873Packets not matched by another queue are assigned to this one.
874Exactly one default queue is required.
875.It Ar red

877RED drops packets with a probability proportional to the average
878queue length.
879.It Ar rio
880Enables RIO on this queue.
881RIO is RED with IN/OUT, thus running
882RED two times more than RIO would achieve the same effect.
883RIO is currently not supported in the GENERIC kernel.
884.It Ar ecn

913.Pp
914The format for service curve specifications is
915.Ar ( m1 , d , m2 ) .
916.Ar m2
917controls the bandwidth assigned to the queue.
918.Ar m1
919and
920.Ar d
921are optional and can be used to control the initial bandwidth assignment.
922For the first
923.Ar d
924milliseconds the queue gets the bandwidth given as
925.Ar m1 ,
926afterwards the value given in
927.Ar m2 .
928.Pp
929Furthermore, with
930.Ar cbq
931and
932.Ar hfsc ,
933child queues can be specified as in an
934.Ar altq
935declaration, thus building a tree of queues using a part of
936their parent's bandwidth.
937.Pp
938Packets can be assigned to queues based on filter rules by using the
939.Ar queue
940keyword.
941Normally only one
942.Ar queue
943is specified; when a second one is specified it will instead be used for
944packets which have a
945.Em TOS
946of
947.Em lowdelay

983.Sh TRANSLATION
984Translation rules modify either the source or destination address of the
985packets associated with a stateful connection.
986A stateful connection is automatically created to track packets matching
987such a rule as long as they are not blocked by the filtering section of
988.Nm pf.conf .
989The translation engine modifies the specified address and/or port in the
990packet, recalculates IP, TCP and UDP checksums as necessary, and passes it to
991the packet filter for evaluation.
992.Pp
993Since translation occurs before filtering the filter
994engine will see packets as they look after any
995addresses and ports have been translated.
996Filter rules will therefore have to filter based on the translated
997address and port number.
998Packets that match a translation rule are only automatically passed if
999the
1000.Ar pass
1001modifier is given, otherwise they are
1002still subject to
1003.Ar block
1004and
1005.Ar pass
1006rules.
1007.Pp
1008The state entry created permits
1009.Xr pf 4
1010to keep track of the original address for traffic associated with that state
1011and correctly direct return traffic for that connection.
1012.Pp
1013Various types of translation are possible with pf:
1014.Bl -tag -width xxxx
1015.It Ar binat
1016A
1017.Ar binat
1018rule specifies a bidirectional mapping between an external IP netblock
1019and an internal IP netblock.
1020.It Ar nat
1021A
1022.Ar nat
1023rule specifies that IP addresses are to be changed as the packet
1024traverses the given interface.
1025This technique allows one or more IP addresses
1026on the translating host to support network traffic for a larger range of
1027machines on an "inside" network.
1028Although in theory any IP address can be used on the inside, it is strongly
1029recommended that one of the address ranges defined by RFC 1918 be used.
1030These netblocks are:
1031.Bd -literal
103210.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (all of net 10, i.e., 10/8)
1033172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (i.e., 172.16/12)
1034192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (i.e., 192.168/16)
1035.Ed
1036.It Pa rdr
1037The packet is redirected to another destination and possibly a
1038different port.
1039.Ar rdr
1040rules can optionally specify port ranges instead of single ports.
1041rdr ... port 2000:2999 -> ... port 4000
1042redirects ports 2000 to 2999 (inclusive) to port 4000.
1043rdr ... port 2000:2999 -> ... port 4000:*
1044redirects port 2000 to 4000, 2001 to 4001, ..., 2999 to 4999.
1045.El
1046.Pp
1047In addition to modifying the address, some translation rules may modify
1048source or destination ports for
1049.Xr tcp 4
1050or
1051.Xr udp 4
1052connections; implicitly in the case of
1053.Ar nat
1054rules and explicitly in the case of
1055.Ar rdr
1056rules.
1057Port numbers are never translated with a
1058.Ar binat
1059rule.
1060.Pp
1061For each packet processed by the translator, the translation rules are
1062evaluated in sequential order, from first to last.
1063The first matching rule decides what action is taken.
1064.Pp
1065The
1066.Ar no
1067option prefixed to a translation rule causes packets to remain untranslated,
1068much in the same way as
1069.Ar drop quick
1070works in the packet filter (see below).
1071If no rule matches the packet it is passed to the filter engine unmodified.
1072.Pp
1073Translation rules apply only to packets that pass through
1074the specified interface, and if no interface is specified,
1075translation is applied to packets on all interfaces.
1076For instance, redirecting port 80 on an external interface to an internal
1077web server will only work for connections originating from the outside.
1078Connections to the address of the external interface from local hosts will
1079not be redirected, since such packets do not actually pass through the
1080external interface.
1081Redirections cannot reflect packets back through the interface they arrive
1082on, they can only be redirected to hosts connected to different interfaces
1083or to the firewall itself.
1084.Pp
1085Note that redirecting external incoming connections to the loopback
1086address, as in
1087.Bd -literal -offset indent
1088rdr on ne3 inet proto tcp to port 8025 -> 127.0.0.1 port 25
1089.Ed
1090.Pp
1091will effectively allow an external host to connect to daemons
1092bound solely to the loopback address, circumventing the traditional
1093blocking of such connections on a real interface.
1094Unless this effect is desired, any of the local non-loopback addresses
1095should be used as redirection target instead, which allows external
1096connections only to daemons bound to this address or not bound to
1097any address.

1127.It Ar block
1128The packet is blocked.
1129There are a number of ways in which a
1130.Ar block
1131rule can behave when blocking a packet.
1132The default behaviour is to
1133.Ar drop
1134packets silently, however this can be overridden or made
1135explicit either globally, by setting the
1136.Ar block-policy
1137option, or on a per-rule basis with one of the following options:
1138.Pp
1139.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
1140.It Ar drop
1141The packet is silently dropped.
1142.It Ar return-rst
1143This applies only to
1144.Xr tcp 4
1145packets, and issues a TCP RST which closes the
1146connection.
1147.It Ar return-icmp
1148.It Ar return-icmp6
1149This causes ICMP messages to be returned for packets which match the rule.
1150By default this is an ICMP UNREACHABLE message, however this
1151can be overridden by specifying a message as a code or number.
1152.It Ar return
1153This causes a TCP RST to be returned for
1154.Xr tcp 4
1155packets and an ICMP UNREACHABLE for UDP and other packets.

1181.Sh PARAMETERS
1182The rule parameters specify the packets to which a rule applies.
1183A packet always comes in on, or goes out through, one interface.
1184Most parameters are optional.
1185If a parameter is specified, the rule only applies to packets with
1186matching attributes.
1187Certain parameters can be expressed as lists, in which case
1188.Xr pfctl 8
1189generates all needed rule combinations.
1190.Bl -tag -width xxxx
1191.It Ar in No or Ar out
1192This rule applies to incoming or outgoing packets.
1193If neither
1194.Ar in
1195nor
1196.Ar out
1197are specified, the rule will match packets in both directions.
1198.It Ar log
1199In addition to the action specified, a log message is generated.
1200All packets for that connection are logged, unless the
1201.Ar keep state ,
1202.Ar modulate state
1203or
1204.Ar synproxy state
1205options are specified, in which case only the

1235If a packet matches a rule which has the

1254.Xr icmp 4 ,
1255.Xr icmp6 4 ,
1256.Xr tcp 4 ,
1257and
1258.Xr udp 4 .
1259For a list of all the protocol name to number mappings used by
1260.Xr pfctl 8 ,

1263.It Xo
1264.Ar from <source> port <source> os <source>
1265.Ar to <dest> port <dest>
1266.Xc
1267This rule applies only to packets with the specified source and destination
1268addresses and ports.
1269.Pp
1270Addresses can be specified in CIDR notation (matching netblocks), as
1271symbolic host names or interface names, or as any of the following keywords:
1272.Pp
1273.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -compact
1274.It Ar any
1275Any address.
1276.It Ar route <label>
1277Any address whose associated route has label
1278.Ar <label> .
1279See
1280.Xr route 4
1281and
1282.Xr route 8 .
1283.It Ar no-route
1284Any address which is not currently routable.
1285.It Ar <table>
1286Any address that matches the given table.
1287.El
1288.Pp
1289Interface names can have modifiers appended:
1290.Pp
1291.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxx -compact
1292.It Ar :network
1293Translates to the network(s) attached to the interface.
1294.It Ar :broadcast
1295Translates to the interface's broadcast address(es).
1296.It Ar :peer
1297Translates to the point to point interface's peer address(es).
1298.It Ar :0
1299Do not include interface aliases.
1300.El
1301.Pp
1302Host names may also have the
1303.Ar :0
1304option appended to restrict the name resolution to the first of each
1305v4 and v6 address found.
1306.Pp
1307Host name resolution and interface to address translation are done at
1308ruleset load-time.
1309When the address of an interface (or host name) changes (under DHCP or PPP,
1310for instance), the ruleset must be reloaded for the change to be reflected
1311in the kernel.
1312Surrounding the interface name (and optional modifiers) in parentheses
1313changes this behaviour.
1314When the interface name is surrounded by parentheses, the rule is
1315automatically updated whenever the interface changes its address.
1316The ruleset does not need to be reloaded.
1317This is especially useful with
1318.Ar nat .
1319.Pp
1320Ports can be specified either by number or by name.
1321For example, port 80 can be specified as
1322.Em www .
1323For a list of all port name to number mappings used by
1324.Xr pfctl 8 ,
1325see the file
1326.Pa /etc/services .
1327.Pp
1328Ports and ranges of ports are specified by using these operators:
1329.Bd -literal -offset indent
1330=	(equal)
1331!=	(unequal)
1332<	(less than)
1333<=	(less than or equal)
1334>	(greater than)
1335>=	(greater than or equal)
1336:	(range including boundaries)
1337><	(range excluding boundaries)
1338<>	(except range)
1339.Ed
1340.Pp
1341><, <> and :
1342are binary operators (they take two arguments).
1343For instance:
1344.Bl -tag -width Fl
1345.It Ar port 2000:2004
1346means
1347.Sq all ports >= 2000 and <= 2004 ,
1348hence ports 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004.
1349.It Ar port 2000 >< 2004
1350means
1351.Sq all ports > 2000 and < 2004 ,
1352hence ports 2001, 2002 and 2003.
1353.It Ar port 2000 <> 2004
1354means
1355.Sq all ports < 2000 or > 2004 ,
1356hence ports 1-1999 and 2005-65535.
1357.El
1358.Pp
1359The operating system of the source host can be specified in the case of TCP
1360rules with the
1361.Ar OS
1362modifier.
1363See the
1364.Sx OPERATING SYSTEM FINGERPRINTING
1365section for more information.
1366.Pp
1367The host, port and OS specifications are optional, as in the following examples:
1368.Bd -literal -offset indent
1369pass in all
1370pass in from any to any
1371pass in proto tcp from any port <= 1024 to any
1372pass in proto tcp from any to any port 25
1373pass in proto tcp from 10.0.0.0/8 port > 1024 \e
1374      to ! 10.1.2.3 port != ssh
1375pass in proto tcp from any os "OpenBSD" flags S/SA
1376pass in proto tcp from route "DTAG"
1377.Ed
1378.It Ar all
1379This is equivalent to "from any to any".
1380.It Ar group <group>
1381This functionality is not supported in this version of
1382.Nx .
1383.\" Similar to
1384.\" .Ar user ,
1385.\" this rule only applies to packets of sockets owned by the specified group.
1386.It Ar user <user>
1387This rule only applies to packets of sockets owned by the specified user.
1388For outgoing connections initiated from the firewall, this is the user
1389that opened the connection.
1390For incoming connections to the firewall itself, this is the user that
1391listens on the destination port.
1392For forwarded connections, where the firewall is not a connection endpoint,
1393the user and group are
1394.Em unknown .
1395.Pp
1396All packets, both outgoing and incoming, of one connection are associated
1397with the same user and group.
1398Only TCP and UDP packets can be associated with users; for other protocols
1399these parameters are ignored.
1400.Pp
1401User and group refer to the effective (as opposed to the real) IDs, in
1402case the socket is created by a setuid/setgid process.
1403User and group IDs are stored when a socket is created;
1404when a process creates a listening socket as root (for instance, by
1405binding to a privileged port) and subsequently changes to another
1406user ID (to drop privileges), the credentials will remain root.
1407.Pp
1408User and group IDs can be specified as either numbers or names.
1409The syntax is similar to the one for ports.
1410The value
1411.Em unknown
1412matches packets of forwarded connections.
1413.Em unknown
1414can only be used with the operators
1415.Cm =
1416and
1417.Cm != .
1418Other constructs like
1419.Cm user >= unknown
1420are invalid.
1421Forwarded packets with unknown user and group ID match only rules
1422that explicitly compare against
1423.Em unknown
1424with the operators
1425.Cm =
1426or
1427.Cm != .
1428For instance
1429.Cm user >= 0
1430does not match forwarded packets.
1431The following example allows only selected users to open outgoing
1432connections:
1433.Bd -literal -offset indent
1434block out proto { tcp, udp } all
1435pass  out proto { tcp, udp } all \e
1436      user { < 1000, dhartmei } keep state
1437.Ed
1438.It Ar flags <a>/<b> | /<b>
1439This rule only applies to TCP packets that have the flags
1440.Ar <a>
1441set out of set
1442.Ar <b> .
1443Flags not specified in
1444.Ar <b>
1445are ignored.
1446The flags are: (F)IN, (S)YN, (R)ST, (P)USH, (A)CK, (U)RG, (E)CE, and C(W)R.
1447.Bl -tag -width Fl
1448.It Ar flags S/S
1449Flag SYN is set.
1450The other flags are ignored.
1451.It Ar flags S/SA
1452Out of SYN and ACK, exactly SYN may be set.
1453SYN, SYN+PSH and SYN+RST match, but SYN+ACK, ACK and ACK+RST do not.
1454This is more restrictive than the previous example.
1455.It Ar flags /SFRA
1456If the first set is not specified, it defaults to none.
1457All of SYN, FIN, RST and ACK must be unset.
1458.El
1459.It Ar icmp-type <type> code <code>
1460.It Ar icmp6-type <type> code <code>
1461This rule only applies to ICMP or ICMPv6 packets with the specified type
1462and code.
1463Text names for ICMP types and codes are listed in
1464.Xr icmp 4

1482.Em TOS
1483may be
1484given as one of
1485.Ar lowdelay ,
1486.Ar throughput ,
1487.Ar reliability ,
1488or as either hex or decimal.
1489.Pp
1490For example, the following rules are identical:
1491.Bd -literal -offset indent
1492pass all tos lowdelay
1493pass all tos 0x10
1494pass all tos 16
1495.Ed
1496.It Ar allow-opts
1497By default, packets which contain IP options are blocked.
1498When
1499.Ar allow-opts
1500is specified for a
1501.Ar pass
1502rule, packets that pass the filter based on that rule (last matching)
1503do so even if they contain IP options.
1504For packets that match state, the rule that initially created the
1505state is used.
1506The implicit
1507.Ar pass
1508rule that is used when a packet does not match any rules does not
1509allow IP options.
1510.It Ar label <string>
1511Adds a label (name) to the rule, which can be used to identify the rule.
1512For instance,
1513pfctl -s labels
1514shows per-rule statistics for rules that have labels.
1515.Pp
1516The following macros can be used in labels:
1517.Pp
1518.Bl -tag -width $srcaddr -compact -offset indent
1519.It Ar $if
1520The interface.
1521.It Ar $srcaddr
1522The source IP address.
1523.It Ar $dstaddr
1524The destination IP address.
1525.It Ar $srcport
1526The source port specification.
1527.It Ar $dstport
1528The destination port specification.
1529.It Ar $proto
1530The protocol name.
1531.It Ar $nr
1532The rule number.
1533.El
1534.Pp
1535For example:
1536.Bd -literal -offset indent
1537ips = \&"{ 1.2.3.4, 1.2.3.5 }\&"
1538pass in proto tcp from any to $ips \e

1548.Ed
1549.Pp
1550The macro expansion for the
1551.Ar label
1552directive occurs only at configuration file parse time, not during runtime.
1553.It Ar queue <queue> | ( <queue> , <queue> )
1554Packets matching this rule will be assigned to the specified queue.
1555If two queues are given, packets which have a
1556.Em TOS
1557of
1558.Em lowdelay
1559and TCP ACKs with no data payload will be assigned to the second one.
1560See
1561.Sx QUEUEING

1563.Pp
1564For example:
1565.Bd -literal -offset indent

1567pass in proto tcp to port 22 queue(ssh_bulk, ssh_prio)
1568.Ed
1569.It Ar tag <string>
1570Packets matching this rule will be tagged with the
1571specified string.
1572The tag acts as an internal marker that can be used to
1573identify these packets later on.
1574This can be used, for example, to provide trust between
1575interfaces and to determine if packets have been
1576processed by translation rules.
1577Tags are
1578.Qq sticky ,
1579meaning that the packet will be tagged even if the rule
1580is not the last matching rule.
1581Further matching rules can replace the tag with a
1582new one but will not remove a previously applied tag.
1583A packet is only ever assigned one tag at a time.
1584.Ar pass
1585rules that use the
1586.Ar tag
1587keyword must also use
1588.Ar keep state ,
1589.Ar modulate state
1590or
1591.Ar synproxy state .
1592Packet tagging can be done during
1593.Ar nat ,
1594.Ar rdr ,
1595or
1596.Ar binat
1597rules in addition to filter rules.
1598Tags take the same macros as labels (see above).
1599.It Ar tagged <string>
1600Used with filter or translation rules to specify that packets must already
1601be tagged with the given tag in order to match the rule.
1602Inverse tag matching can also be done
1603by specifying the
1604.Cm !\&
1605operator before the
1606.Ar tagged
1607keyword.
1608.It Ar probability <number>
1609A probability attribute can be attached to a rule, with a value set between
16100 and 1, bounds not included.
1611In that case, the rule will be honoured using the given probability value
1612only.
1613For example, the following rule will drop 20% of incoming ICMP packets:
1614.Bd -literal -offset indent
1615block in proto icmp probability 20%
1616.Ed
1617.El
1618.Sh ROUTING
1619If a packet matches a rule with a route option set, the packet filter will
1620route the packet according to the type of route option.
1621When such a rule creates state, the route option is also applied to all
1622packets matching the same connection.
1623.Bl -tag -width xxxx
1624.It Ar fastroute
1625The
1626.Ar fastroute
1627option does a normal route lookup to find the next hop for the packet.
1628.It Ar route-to
1629The
1630.Ar route-to
1631option routes the packet to the specified interface with an optional address
1632for the next hop.
1633When a
1634.Ar route-to
1635rule creates state, only packets that pass in the same direction as the
1636filter rule specifies will be routed in this way.
1637Packets passing in the opposite direction (replies) are not affected
1638and are routed normally.
1639.It Ar reply-to
1640The
1641.Ar reply-to
1642option is similar to
1643.Ar route-to ,
1644but routes packets that pass in the opposite direction (replies) to the
1645specified interface.
1646Opposite direction is only defined in the context of a state entry, and
1647.Ar reply-to
1648is useful only in rules that create state.
1649It can be used on systems with multiple external connections to
1650route all outgoing packets of a connection through the interface
1651the incoming connection arrived through (symmetric routing enforcement).
1652.It Ar dup-to
1653The
1654.Ar dup-to
1655option creates a duplicate of the packet and routes it like
1656.Ar route-to .
1657The original packet gets routed as it normally would.
1658.El
1659.Sh POOL OPTIONS
1660For
1661.Ar nat
1662and
1663.Ar rdr
1664rules, (as well as for the
1665.Ar route-to ,
1666.Ar reply-to
1667and
1668.Ar dup-to
1669rule options) for which there is a single redirection address which has a
1670subnet mask smaller than 32 for IPv4 or 128 for IPv6 (more than one IP
1671address), a variety of different methods for assigning this address can be
1672used:
1673.Bl -tag -width xxxx
1674.It Ar bitmask
1675The
1676.Ar bitmask
1677option applies the network portion of the redirection address to the address
1678to be modified (source with
1679.Ar nat ,
1680destination with
1681.Ar rdr ) .
1682.It Ar random
1683The
1684.Ar random
1685option selects an address at random within the defined block of addresses.
1686.It Ar source-hash
1687The
1688.Ar source-hash
1689option uses a hash of the source address to determine the redirection address,
1690ensuring that the redirection address is always the same for a given source.
1691An optional key can be specified after this keyword either in hex or as a
1692string; by default
1693.Xr pfctl 8
1694randomly generates a key for source-hash every time the
1695ruleset is reloaded.
1696.It Ar round-robin
1697The
1698.Ar round-robin
1699option loops through the redirection address(es).
1700.Pp
1701When more than one redirection address is specified,
1702.Ar round-robin
1703is the only permitted pool type.
1704.It Ar static-port
1705With
1706.Ar nat
1707rules, the
1708.Ar static-port
1709option prevents
1710.Xr pf 4
1711from modifying the source port on TCP and UDP packets.
1712.El
1713.Pp
1714Additionally, the
1715.Ar sticky-address
1716option can be specified to help ensure that multiple connections from the
1717same source are mapped to the same redirection address.
1718This option can be used with the
1719.Ar random
1720and
1721.Ar round-robin
1722pool options.
1723Note that by default these associations are destroyed as soon as there are
1724no longer states which refer to them; in order to make the mappings last
1725beyond the lifetime of the states, increase the global options with
1726.Ar set timeout source-track
1727See
1728.Sx STATEFUL TRACKING OPTIONS
1729for more ways to control the source tracking.
1730.Sh STATEFUL INSPECTION
1731.Xr pf 4
1732is a stateful packet filter, which means it can track the state of
1733a connection.
1734Instead of passing all traffic to port 25, for instance, it is possible
1735to pass only the initial packet, and then begin to keep state.
1736Subsequent traffic will flow because the filter is aware of the connection.
1737.Pp
1738If a packet matches a
1739.Ar pass ... keep state
1740rule, the filter creates a state for this connection and automatically
1741lets pass all subsequent packets of that connection.
1742.Pp
1743Before any rules are evaluated, the filter checks whether the packet
1744matches any state.
1745If it does, the packet is passed without evaluation of any rules.
1746.Pp
1747States are removed after the connection is closed or has timed out.
1748.Pp
1749This has several advantages.
1750Comparing a packet to a state involves checking its sequence numbers.
1751If the sequence numbers are outside the narrow windows of expected
1752values, the packet is dropped.
1753This prevents spoofing attacks, such as when an attacker sends packets with
1754a fake source address/port but does not know the connection's sequence
1755numbers.
1756.Pp
1757Also, looking up states is usually faster than evaluating rules.
1758If there are 50 rules, all of them are evaluated sequentially in O(n).
1759Even with 50000 states, only 16 comparisons are needed to match a
1760state, since states are stored in a binary search tree that allows
1761searches in O(log2 n).
1762.Pp
1763For instance:
1764.Bd -literal -offset indent
1765block all
1766pass out proto tcp from any to any flags S/SA keep state
1767pass in  proto tcp from any to any port 25 flags S/SA keep state
1768.Ed
1769.Pp
1770This ruleset blocks everything by default.
1771Only outgoing connections and incoming connections to port 25 are allowed.
1772The initial packet of each connection has the SYN
1773flag set, will be passed and creates state.
1774All further packets of these connections are passed if they match a state.
1775.Pp
1776By default, packets coming in and out of any interface can match a state,
1777but it is also possible to change that behaviour by assigning states to a
1778single interface or a group of interfaces.
1779.Pp
1780The default policy is specified by the
1781.Ar state-policy
1782global option, but this can be adjusted on individual filter rules by adding one
1783of the
1784.Ar if-bound ,
1785.Ar group-bound ,
1786or
1787.Ar floating
1788keywords to the
1789.Ar keep state
1790option.
1791For example, if a rule is defined as:
1792.Bd -literal -offset indent
1793pass out on ppp from any to 10.12/16 keep state (group-bound)
1794.Ed
1795.Pp
1796A state created on ppp0 would match packets an all PPP interfaces,
1797but not packets flowing through fxp0 or any other interface.
1798.Pp
1799You can adjust the state policy on individual
1800.Ar nat
1801and
1802.Ar rdr
1803translation rules by adding a keyword
1804.Ar if-bound ,
1805.Ar group-bound
1806or
1807.Ar floating
1808at the end of the rule.
1809For example, a rule such as this,
1810.Bd -literal -offset indent
1811nat on sip0 from 10/8 to ! 10/8 -> 192.168.1.4/32 if-bound
1812.Ed
1813.Pp
1814will create states that only match packets on sip0.
1815.Pp
1816Keeping rules
1817.Ar floating
1818is the more flexible option when the firewall is in a dynamic routing
1819environment.
1820However, this has some security implications since a state created by one
1821trusted network could allow potentially hostile packets coming in from other
1822interfaces.
1823.Pp
1824Specifying
1825.Ar flags S/SA
1826restricts state creation to the initial SYN
1827packet of the TCP handshake.
1828One can also be less restrictive, and allow state creation from
1829intermediate
1830.Pq non-SYN
1831packets.
1832This will cause
1833.Xr pf 4
1834to synchronize to existing connections, for instance
1835if one flushes the state table.
1836.Pp
1837For UDP, which is stateless by nature,
1838.Ar keep state
1839will create state as well.
1840UDP packets are matched to states using only host addresses and ports.
1841.Pp
1842ICMP messages fall into two categories: ICMP error messages, which always
1843refer to a TCP or UDP packet, are matched against the referred to connection.
1844If one keeps state on a TCP connection, and an ICMP source quench message
1845referring to this TCP connection arrives, it will be matched to the right
1846state and get passed.
1847.Pp
1848For ICMP queries,
1849.Ar keep state
1850creates an ICMP state, and
1851.Xr pf 4
1852knows how to match ICMP replies to states.
1853For example,
1854.Bd -literal -offset indent
1855pass out inet proto icmp all icmp-type echoreq keep state
1856.Ed
1857.Pp
1858allows echo requests (such as those created by
1859.Xr ping 8 )
1860out, creates state, and matches incoming echo replies correctly to states.
1861.Pp
1862Note:
1863.Ar nat , binat No and Ar rdr
1864rules implicitly create state for connections.
1865.Sh STATE MODULATION
1866Much of the security derived from TCP is attributable to how well the
1867initial sequence numbers (ISNs) are chosen.
1868Some popular stack implementations choose
1869.Em very
1870poor ISNs and thus are normally susceptible to ISN prediction exploits.
1871By applying a
1872.Ar modulate state
1873rule to a TCP connection,
1874.Xr pf 4
1875will create a high quality random sequence number for each connection
1876endpoint.
1877.Pp
1878The
1879.Ar modulate state
1880directive implicitly keeps state on the rule and is
1881only applicable to TCP connections.
1882.Pp
1883For instance:
1884.Bd -literal -offset indent
1885block all
1886pass out proto tcp from any to any modulate state
1887pass in  proto tcp from any to any port 25 flags S/SA modulate state
1888.Ed
1889.Pp
1890There are two caveats associated with state modulation:
1891A
1892.Ar modulate state
1893rule can not be applied to a pre-existing but unmodulated connection.
1894Such an application would desynchronize TCP's strict
1895sequencing between the two endpoints.
1896Instead,
1897.Xr pf 4
1898will treat the
1899.Ar modulate state
1900modifier as a
1901.Ar keep state
1902modifier and the pre-existing connection will be inferred without
1903the protection conferred by modulation.
1904.Pp
1905The other caveat affects currently modulated states when the state table
1906is lost (firewall reboot, flushing the state table, etc...).
1907.Xr pf 4
1908will not be able to infer a connection again after the state table flushes
1909the connection's modulator.
1910When the state is lost, the connection may be left dangling until the
1911respective endpoints time out the connection.
1912It is possible on a fast local network for the endpoints to start an ACK
1913storm while trying to resynchronize after the loss of the modulator.
1914Using a
1915.Ar flags S/SA
1916modifier on
1917.Ar modulate state
1918rules between fast networks is suggested to prevent ACK storms.
1919.Sh SYN PROXY
1920By default,
1921.Xr pf 4
1922passes packets that are part of a
1923.Xr tcp 4
1924handshake between the endpoints.
1925The
1926.Ar synproxy state
1927option can be used to cause
1928.Xr pf 4
1929itself to complete the handshake with the active endpoint, perform a handshake
1930with the passive endpoint, and then forward packets between the endpoints.
1931.Pp
1932No packets are sent to the passive endpoint before the active endpoint has
1933completed the handshake, hence so-called SYN floods with spoofed source
1934addresses will not reach the passive endpoint, as the sender can't complete the
1935handshake.
1936.Pp
1937The proxy is transparent to both endpoints, they each see a single
1938connection from/to the other endpoint.
1939.Xr pf 4
1940chooses random initial sequence numbers for both handshakes.
1941Once the handshakes are completed, the sequence number modulators
1942(see previous section) are used to translate further packets of the
1943connection.
1944Hence,
1945.Ar synproxy state
1946includes
1947.Ar modulate state
1948and
1949.Ar keep state .
1950.Pp
1951Rules with
1952.Ar synproxy
1953will not work if
1954.Xr pf 4
1955operates on a
1956.Xr bridge 4 .
1957.Pp
1958Example:
1959.Bd -literal -offset indent
1960pass in proto tcp from any to any port www flags S/SA synproxy state
1961.Ed
1962.Sh STATEFUL TRACKING OPTIONS
1963All three of
1964.Ar keep state ,
1965.Ar modulate state
1966and
1967.Ar synproxy state
1968support the following options:
1969.Pp
1970.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
1971.It Ar max <number>
1972Limits the number of concurrent states the rule may create.
1973When this limit is reached, further packets matching the rule that would
1974create state are dropped, until existing states time out.
1975.\" .It Ar no-sync
1976.\" Prevent state changes for states created by this rule from appearing on the
1977.\" .Xr pfsync 4
1978.\" interface.
1979.It Ar <timeout> <seconds>
1980Changes the timeout values used for states created by this rule.
1981For a list of all valid timeout names, see
1982.Sx OPTIONS
1983above.
1984.El
1985.Pp
1986Multiple options can be specified, separated by commas:
1987.Bd -literal -offset indent
1988pass in proto tcp from any to any \e
1989      port www flags S/SA keep state \e
1990      (max 100, source-track rule, max-src-nodes 75, \e
1991      max-src-states 3, tcp.established 60, tcp.closing 5)
1992.Ed
1993.Pp
1994When the
1995.Ar source-track
1996keyword is specified, the number of states per source IP is tracked.
1997.Pp
1998.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
1999.It Ar source-track rule
2000The maximum number of states created by this rule is limited by the rule's
2001.Ar max-src-nodes
2002and
2003.Ar max-src-state
2004options.
2005Only state entries created by this particular rule count toward the rule's
2006limits.
2007.It Ar source-track global
2008The number of states created by all rules that use this option is limited.
2009Each rule can specify different
2010.Ar max-src-nodes
2011and
2012.Ar max-src-states
2013options, however state entries created by any participating rule count towards
2014each individual rule's limits.
2015.El
2016.Pp
2017The following limits can be set:
2018.Pp
2019.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
2020.It Ar max-src-nodes <number>
2021Limits the maximum number of source addresses which can simultaneously
2022have state table entries.
2023.It Ar max-src-states <number>
2024Limits the maximum number of simultaneous state entries that a single
2025source address can create with this rule.
2026.El
2027.Pp
2028For stateful TCP connections, limits on established connections (connections
2029which have completed the TCP 3-way handshake) can also be enforced
2030per source IP.
2031.Pp
2032.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
2033.It Ar max-src-conn <number>
2034Limits the maximum number of simultaneous TCP connections which have
2035completed the 3-way handshake that a single host can make.
2036.It Ar max-src-conn-rate <number> / <seconds>
2037Limit the rate of new connections over a time interval.
2038The connection rate is an approximation calculated as a moving average.
2039.El
2040.Pp
2041Because the 3-way handshake ensures that the source address is not being
2042spoofed, more aggressive action can be taken based on these limits.
2043With the
2044.Ar overload <table>
2045state option, source IP addresses which hit either of the limits on
2046established connections will be added to the named table.
2047This table can be used in the ruleset to block further activity from
2048the offending host, redirect it to a tarpit process, or restrict its
2049bandwidth.
2050.Pp
2051The optional
2052.Ar flush
2053keyword kills all states created by the matching rule which originate
2054from the host which exceeds these limits.
2055The
2056.Ar global
2057modifier to the flush command kills all states originating from the
2058offending host, regardless of which rule created the state.
2059.Pp
2060For example, the following rules will protect the webserver against
2061hosts making more than 100 connections in 10 seconds.
2062Any host which connects faster than this rate will have its address added
2063to the <bad_hosts> table and have all states originating from it flushed.
2064Any new packets arriving from this host will be dropped unconditionally
2065by the block rule.
2066.Bd -literal -offset indent

2070.Ed
2071.Sh OPERATING SYSTEM FINGERPRINTING
2072Passive OS Fingerprinting is a mechanism to inspect nuances of a TCP
2073connection's initial SYN packet and guess at the host's operating system.
2074Unfortunately these nuances are easily spoofed by an attacker so the
2075fingerprint is not useful in making security decisions.
2076But the fingerprint is typically accurate enough to make policy decisions
2077upon.
2078.Pp
2079The fingerprints may be specified by operating system class, by
2080version, or by subtype/patchlevel.
2081The class of an operating system is typically the vendor or genre
2082and would be OpenBSD for the
2083.Xr pf 4
2084firewall itself.
2085The version of the oldest available OpenBSD release on the main ftp site
2086would be 2.6 and the fingerprint would be written
2087.Pp
2088.Dl \&"OpenBSD 2.6\&"
2089.Pp
2090The subtype of an operating system is typically used to describe the
2091patchlevel if that patch led to changes in the TCP stack behavior.
2092In the case of OpenBSD, the only subtype is for a fingerprint that was
2093normalized by the
2094.Ar no-df
2095scrub option and would be specified as
2096.Pp
2097.Dl \&"OpenBSD 3.3 no-df\&"
2098.Pp
2099Fingerprints for most popular operating systems are provided by
2100.Xr pf.os 5 .
2101Once
2102.Xr pf 4
2103is running, a complete list of known operating system fingerprints may
2104be listed by running:
2105.Pp
2106.Dl # pfctl -so
2107.Pp
2108Filter rules can enforce policy at any level of operating system specification
2109assuming a fingerprint is present.
2110Policy could limit traffic to approved operating systems or even ban traffic
2111from hosts that aren't at the latest service pack.
2112.Pp
2113The
2114.Ar unknown
2115class can also be used as the fingerprint which will match packets for
2116which no operating system fingerprint is known.
2117.Pp
2118Examples:
2119.Bd -literal -offset indent
2120pass  out proto tcp from any os OpenBSD keep state
2121block out proto tcp from any os Doors
2122block out proto tcp from any os "Doors PT"
2123block out proto tcp from any os "Doors PT SP3"
2124block out from any os "unknown"
2125pass on lo0 proto tcp from any os "OpenBSD 3.3 lo0" keep state
2126.Ed
2127.Pp
2128Operating system fingerprinting is limited only to the TCP SYN packet.
2129This means that it will not work on other protocols and will not match
2130a currently established connection.
2131.Pp
2132Caveat: operating system fingerprints are occasionally wrong.
2133There are three problems: an attacker can trivially craft his packets to
2134appear as any operating system he chooses;
2135an operating system patch could change the stack behavior and no fingerprints
2136will match it until the database is updated;
2137and multiple operating systems may have the same fingerprint.
2138.Sh BLOCKING SPOOFED TRAFFIC
2139"Spoofing" is the faking of IP addresses, typically for malicious
2140purposes.
2141The
2142.Ar antispoof
2143directive expands to a set of filter rules which will block all
2144traffic with a source IP from the network(s) directly connected
2145to the specified interface(s) from entering the system through
2146any other interface.
2147.Pp
2148For example, the line
2149.Bd -literal -offset indent
2150antispoof for lo0
2151.Ed
2152.Pp
2153expands to
2154.Bd -literal -offset indent
2155block drop in on ! lo0 inet from 127.0.0.1/8 to any
2156block drop in on ! lo0 inet6 from ::1 to any
2157.Ed
2158.Pp
2159For non-loopback interfaces, there are additional rules to block incoming
2160packets with a source IP address identical to the interface's IP(s).
2161For example, assuming the interface wi0 had an IP address of 10.0.0.1 and a
2162netmask of 255.255.255.0,
2163the line
2164.Bd -literal -offset indent
2165antispoof for wi0 inet
2166.Ed
2167.Pp
2168expands to
2169.Bd -literal -offset indent
2170block drop in on ! wi0 inet from 10.0.0.0/24 to any
2171block drop in inet from 10.0.0.1 to any
2172.Ed
2173.Pp
2174Caveat: Rules created by the
2175.Ar antispoof
2176directive interfere with packets sent over loopback interfaces
2177to local addresses.
2178One should pass these explicitly.
2179.Sh FRAGMENT HANDLING
2180The size of IP datagrams (packets) can be significantly larger than the
2181maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the network.
2182In cases when it is necessary or more efficient to send such large packets,
2183the large packet will be fragmented into many smaller packets that will each
2184fit onto the wire.
2185Unfortunately for a firewalling device, only the first logical fragment will
2186contain the necessary header information for the subprotocol that allows
2187.Xr pf 4
2188to filter on things such as TCP ports or to perform NAT.
2189.Pp
2190Besides the use of
2191.Ar scrub
2192rules as described in
2193.Sx TRAFFIC NORMALIZATION
2194above, there are three options for handling fragments in the packet filter.
2195.Pp
2196One alternative is to filter individual fragments with filter rules.
2197If no
2198.Ar scrub
2199rule applies to a fragment, it is passed to the filter.
2200Filter rules with matching IP header parameters decide whether the
2201fragment is passed or blocked, in the same way as complete packets
2202are filtered.
2203Without reassembly, fragments can only be filtered based on IP header
2204fields (source/destination address, protocol), since subprotocol header
2205fields are not available (TCP/UDP port numbers, ICMP code/type).
2206The
2207.Ar fragment
2208option can be used to restrict filter rules to apply only to
2209fragments, but not complete packets.
2210Filter rules without the
2211.Ar fragment
2212option still apply to fragments, if they only specify IP header fields.
2213For instance, the rule
2214.Bd -literal -offset indent
2215pass in proto tcp from any to any port 80
2216.Ed
2217.Pp
2218never applies to a fragment, even if the fragment is part of a TCP
2219packet with destination port 80, because without reassembly this information
2220is not available for each fragment.
2221This also means that fragments cannot create new or match existing
2222state table entries, which makes stateful filtering and address
2223translation (NAT, redirection) for fragments impossible.
2224.Pp
2225It's also possible to reassemble only certain fragments by specifying
2226source or destination addresses or protocols as parameters in
2227.Ar scrub
2228rules.
2229.Pp
2230In most cases, the benefits of reassembly outweigh the additional
2231memory cost, and it's recommended to use
2232.Ar scrub
2233rules to reassemble
2234all fragments via the
2235.Ar fragment reassemble
2236modifier.
2237.Pp
2238The memory allocated for fragment caching can be limited using
2239.Xr pfctl 8 .
2240Once this limit is reached, fragments that would have to be cached
2241are dropped until other entries time out.
2242The timeout value can also be adjusted.
2243.Pp
2244Currently, only IPv4 fragments are supported and IPv6 fragments
2245are blocked unconditionally.
2246.Sh ANCHORS
2247Besides the main ruleset,
2248.Xr pfctl 8
2249can load rulesets into
2250.Ar anchor
2251attachment points.
2252An
2253.Ar anchor
2254is a container that can hold rules, address tables, and other anchors.
2255.Pp
2256An
2257.Ar anchor
2258has a name which specifies the path where
2259.Xr pfctl 8
2260can be used to access the anchor to perform operations on it, such as
2261attaching child anchors to it or loading rules into it.
2262Anchors may be nested, with components separated by
2263.Sq /
2264characters, similar to how file system hierarchies are laid out.
2265The main ruleset is actually the default anchor, so filter and
2266translation rules, for example, may also be contained in any anchor.
2267.Pp
2268An anchor can reference another
2269.Ar anchor
2270attachment point
2271using the following kinds
2272of rules:
2273.Bl -tag -width xxxx
2274.It Ar nat-anchor <name>
2275Evaluates the
2276.Ar nat
2277rules in the specified
2278.Ar anchor .
2279.It Ar rdr-anchor <name>
2280Evaluates the
2281.Ar rdr
2282rules in the specified
2283.Ar anchor .
2284.It Ar binat-anchor <name>
2285Evaluates the
2286.Ar binat
2287rules in the specified
2288.Ar anchor .
2289.It Ar anchor <name>
2290Evaluates the filter rules in the specified
2291.Ar anchor .
2292.It Ar load anchor <name> from <file>
2293Loads the rules from the specified file into the
2294anchor
2295.Ar name .
2296.El
2297.Pp
2298When evaluation of the main ruleset reaches an
2299.Ar anchor
2300rule,
2301.Xr pf 4
2302will proceed to evaluate all rules specified in that anchor.
2303.Pp
2304Matching filter and translation rules in anchors with the
2305.Ar quick
2306option are final and abort the evaluation of the rules in other
2307anchors
2308and the main ruleset.
2309.Pp
2310.Ar anchor
2311rules are evaluated relative to the anchor in which they are contained.
2312For example, all
2313.Ar anchor
2314rules specified in the main ruleset will reference anchor
2315attachment points underneath the main ruleset, and
2316.Ar anchor
2317rules specified in a file loaded from a
2318.Ar load anchor
2319rule will be attached under that anchor point.
2320.Pp
2321Rules may be contained in
2322.Ar anchor
2323attachment points which do not contain any rules when the main ruleset
2324is loaded, and later such anchors can be manipulated through
2325.Xr pfctl 8
2326without reloading the main ruleset or other anchors.
2327For example,
2328.Bd -literal -offset indent
2329ext_if = \&"kue0\&"
2330block on $ext_if all
2331anchor spam
2332pass out on $ext_if all keep state
2333pass in on $ext_if proto tcp from any \e
2334      to $ext_if port smtp keep state
2335.Ed
2336.Pp
2337blocks all packets on the external interface by default, then evaluates
2338all rules in the
2339.Ar anchor
2340named "spam", and finally passes all outgoing connections and
2341incoming connections to port 25.
2342.Bd -literal -offset indent
2343# echo \&"block in quick from 1.2.3.4 to any\&" \&| \e
2344      pfctl -a spam -f -
2345.Ed
2346.Pp
2347This loads a single rule into the
2348.Ar anchor ,
2349which blocks all packets from a specific address.
2350.Pp
2351The anchor can also be populated by adding a
2352.Ar load anchor
2353rule after the
2354.Ar anchor
2355rule:
2356.Bd -literal -offset indent
2357anchor spam
2358load anchor spam from "/etc/pf-spam.conf"
2359.Ed
2360.Pp
2361When
2362.Xr pfctl 8
2363loads
2364.Nm pf.conf ,
2365it will also load all the rules from the file
2366.Pa /etc/pf-spam.conf
2367into the anchor.
2368.Pp
2369Optionally,
2370.Ar anchor
2371rules can specify the parameter's
2372direction, interface, address family, protocol and source/destination
2373address/port
2374using the same syntax as filter rules.
2375When parameters are used, the
2376.Ar anchor
2377rule is only evaluated for matching packets.
2378This allows conditional evaluation of anchors, like:
2379.Bd -literal -offset indent
2380block on $ext_if all
2381anchor spam proto tcp from any to any port smtp
2382pass out on $ext_if all keep state
2383pass in on $ext_if proto tcp from any to $ext_if port smtp keep state
2384.Ed
2385.Pp
2386The rules inside
2387.Ar anchor
2388spam are only evaluated for
2389.Ar tcp
2390packets with destination port 25.
2391Hence,
2392.Bd -literal -offset indent
2393# echo \&"block in quick from 1.2.3.4 to any" \&| \e
2394      pfctl -a spam -f -
2395.Ed
2396.Pp
2397will only block connections from 1.2.3.4 to port 25.
2398.Pp
2399Anchors may end with the asterisk
2400.Pq Sq *
2401character, which signifies that all anchors attached at that point
2402should be evaluated in the alphabetical ordering of their anchor name.
2403For example,
2404.Bd -literal -offset indent
2405anchor "spam/*"
2406.Ed
2407.Pp
2408will evaluate each rule in each anchor attached to the
2409.Li spam
2410anchor.
2411Note that it will only evaluate anchors that are directly attached to the
2412.Li spam
2413anchor, and will not descend to evaluate anchors recursively.
2414.Pp
2415Since anchors are evaluated relative to the anchor in which they are
2416contained, there is a mechanism for accessing the parent and ancestor
2417anchors of a given anchor.
2418Similar to file system path name resolution, if the sequence
2419.Dq ..
2420appears as an anchor path component, the parent anchor of the current
2421anchor in the path evaluation at that point will become the new current
2422anchor.
2423As an example, consider the following:
2424.Bd -literal -offset indent
2425# echo ' anchor "spam/allowed" ' | pfctl -f -
2426# echo -e ' anchor "../banned" \en pass' | \e
2427      pfctl -a spam/allowed -f -
2428.Ed
2429.Pp
2430Evaluation of the main ruleset will lead into the
2431.Li spam/allowed
2432anchor, which will evaluate the rules in the
2433.Li spam/banned
2434anchor, if any, before finally evaluating the
2435.Ar pass
2436rule.
2437.Pp
2438Since the parser specification for anchor names is a string, any
2439reference to an anchor name containing solidus
2440.Pq Sq /
2441characters will require double quote
2442.Pq Sq \&"
2443characters around the anchor name.
2444.Sh TRANSLATION EXAMPLES
2445This example maps incoming requests on port 80 to port 8080, on
2446which a daemon is running (because, for example, it is not run as root,
2447and therefore lacks permission to bind to port 80).
2448.Bd -literal
2449# use a macro for the interface name, so it can be changed easily
2450ext_if = \&"ne3\&"

2454.Ed
2455.Pp
2456If the
2457.Ar pass
2458modifier is given, packets matching the translation rule are passed without
2459inspecting the filter rules:
2460.Bd -literal

2464.Pp
2465In the example below, vlan12 is configured as 192.168.168.1;
2466the machine translates all packets coming from 192.168.168.0/24 to 204.92.77.111
2467when they are going out any interface except vlan12.
2468This has the net effect of making traffic from the 192.168.168.0/24
2469network appear as though it is the Internet routable address
2470204.92.77.111 to nodes behind any interface on the router except
2471for the nodes on vlan12.
2472(Thus, 192.168.168.1 can talk to the 192.168.168.0/24 nodes.)
