What pf or ipf firewall keep-state rules needed to allow p2p application such as limewire through? Using same firewall rules as in handbook example.

Put this in your /etc/ipnat.rules

rdr rl0 0.0.0.0/0 port port# -> internal-ip port port# tcp
rdr rl0 0.0.0.0/0 port port# -> internal-ip port port# udp






How about explaining just why this is going to allow p2p limewire work?

Read the handbook on ipfilter.

I think you are missing the fact that limewire does not use dedicated port numbers. Every session uses different port numbers and the remote computers come in on different hight port numbers.

Change port# to port range, then. Or you can skip the firewall.
