For PF I would tend to filter in the ingress interface, tag flows passed by
policy and put a generic pass rule on the egress interface permitting the
tagged flow.
The only exception would be assignment of specific flows for shaping.
Please see answer on other thread. If PF evaluates rules all together,
there would be no security difference on using IN or OUT rules.
Or does PF not evaluates all rules in configuration file in same phase?

Subject: Question on packet filter using in and out interfaces
I have a basic question is on usage of 'in' or 'out' interfaces, on
practical usage.
I'm having some talks in PFsense mailing list, and I'm saying there is
no security difference about using rulesets on output interfaces or on
input interfaces, as PF is evaluating all rules in the same phase.
At the opposite, I'm told all 'in' rules are evaluated first, than there
is a routing phase, then the 'out' rules are finally evaluated, so it
is more secure to have only filters on 'in' interfaces.
Which is the real situation? Does really Packet Filter has any security
advantage having only 'in' rules, or there is no difference on using out
interface instead of in interface?
All start from consideration that using out interfaces would semplify a
lot management of complex environments, with interfaces dedicated to
different customers (one OUT rule on specific interface instead of
several IN rules on all other interfaces).
Thanks for any clear answer you can give.
Regards,
Tonino
