28.Dt PF.BOOT.CONF 5
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm pf.boot.conf
32.Nd initial configuration for packet filter
33.Sh DESCRIPTION
34The
35.Nm
36file is used as initial configuration for the
37.Xr pf 4
38packet filter.
39This file is loaded before the network is configured by the
40.Xr rc.d 8
41script
42.Em network .
43Its purpose is to protect the machine from possible attacks between
44the network configuration and the loading of the final ruleset.
45.Pp
46The syntax of this file is described in
47.Xr pf.conf 5 .
48.Pp
49Note that at the stage the configuration is loaded, the network
50interface(s) do not have an IP address yet, so you
51.Em cannot
52use rules that derive addresses from an interface (for example:
53.Dq pass out from any to fxp0 ) .
54.Sh FILES
55.Bl -tag -width "/etc/defaults/pf.boot.conf" -compact
56.It Pa /etc/defaults/pf.boot.conf
57Default initial ruleset file.
58.It Pa /etc/pf.boot.conf
59Override of the default initial ruleset file.
60.El
61.Sh EXAMPLES
62When using NFS (e.g. diskless situations), you'll also need the following
63rules in addition to the default rules to unblock NFS:
64.Bd -literal -offset indent
65scrub in all no-df
66pass in proto udp from any port { 111, 2049 } to any
67pass out proto udp from any to any port { 111, 2049 }
