No, the packets get out the "other side" of the OBSD box to the destination, it's the return packets that get blocked. > There's an implicit one, but I suspect it might not be keeping > state (though the default as of 4.1 is to keep state, I suspect > this _may_ apply only to rules configured by pfctl and not implicit > ones). And if that's the case it won't permit the return traffic. This is my problem - the return traffic is not being allowed back in. Surely I don't need to write explicit "pass in" rules for the return packets ?
