 Pf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tcpdump/pcap format has been modified somewhat to record firewall rule numbers, pass/block status, interface used, and this information is only available to utilities which are aware of the particular encoding used, including both modern versions of Tcpdump and Ethereal.
pf has also been ported to NetBSD-current by itojun, is installed by default in FreeBSD starting at version 5.3 and DragonFlyBSD version 1.2.
pf is OpenBSD's stateful packet filter, written by Daniel Hartmeier.

 ONLamp.com: OpenBSD PF Developer Interview
We rightly chose to go with Daniel's PF for a replacement firewall which was more complete than mongoose and mine had a bunch of portability cruft to let it work under both OpenBSD and Solaris (hey, I like sparc gear).
RM: After the IPv6 work, I added support for multiple translation or routing target addresses, which allows PF to do various types of load balancing of connections; it makes possible things such as using a PF firewall with two different ISP's, or balancing incoming http traffic against multiple web servers.
The PF firewall can scramble both uptime calculation and NAT detection by modulating the timestamps with a random number.

 Re: nat in pf
Neither does pf influence the routing table on the firewall (or the peer, of course).
Another important point is that replies must go through the pf firewall so it can translate the addresses back.
pf will happily translate any source address to any address you specify.

 ComputerBase - Lexikon: Pf (Paketfilter)
pf – eine Abkürzung von packet filter (deutsch: Paketfilter) – ist eine Firewall-Software die ursprünglich für das Betriebssystem OpenBSD geschrieben wurde.
pf entstand, als das OpenBSD-Projekt aufgrund von Lizenzproblemen den bis dahin enthaltenen Paketfilter IPFilter entfernte und einen Ersatz benötigte.
pf dient neben seiner Funktion als Paketfilter auch als NAT-Software, d.h.

One noticable difference is OpenBSD pf doesn't support IP Filter ``keep frags'' syntax.
IPFILTER-HOWTO since both pf and IP Filter have 90% identical syntax.
Unlike IPFilter, pf needs to enable nat and pf rules manually.

 Is stateful inspection provided by Outpost? - Outpost Firewall User's Support Forum
One last word: suppose that stateful inspection is not needed by a PF (although I strongly oppose to this).
Personal firewalls depend mostly on application awareness to do their task and stateful inspection functionality is not that useful there.
machines that do not play the role of a firewall router for others) with application aware personal firewalls, stateful inspection can just limit the fuss of creating new rules; lack of it does not compromise system security.

 IT Observer - Understanding OpenBSD's Packet Filter
The pf packet filter drops, passes and modifies packets according to the rules defined in this file [pf.conf].
This goal of this document will be i) to introduce the theory of the Packet Filter firewall system and ii) to provide a practical approach to setting up a three-legged firewall for use in a home lan.
The concept of "last matching rule wins" is critical to developing a PF ruleset.

 GeodSoft How-To Harden OpenBSD Using Packet Filter
Packet Filter has a how-to at http://www.inebriated.demon.nl/pf-howto/ Anyone doing an IP Filter firewall should read the "ipf HOWTO" available in several formats at http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf/.
With IP Filter, a state rule applied to the firewall as a whole and once a stream of packets was allowed by a state rule on any interface it would pass through other interfaces, even if there were rules that otherwise would have blocked them.
Packet Filter or IP Filter, running on a single host, can provide the same kind of strong firewall protection to that host, that one would normally expect from a dedicated firewall using Packet Filter or IP Filter.

This allowed verification, by checking the ipf logs, that the new SSH (or telnet) session was actually using this rule, and not the still present pass all to all rules.
When debugging a new IP Filter rule set, it can be very helpful to use the ipf logs as a debugging aid.

 Firewall Failover with pfsync and CARP
The two main components provided by OpenBSD are CARP (the Common Address Redundancy Protocol), which allows a backup host to assume the identity of the primary, and pfsync, which ensures that firewall states are synchronised so that the backup can take over exactly where the master left off and no connections will be lost.
There is essentially no limit to how many pfsync+carp hosts can participate in a cluster.
When writing the rest of the pf ruleset, it is important to keep in mind that from pf's perspective, all traffic comes from the physical interface, even if it is routed through the carp address.

 Invisible gateway - bridge
The disadvantage is that all admin tasks must be performed at the firewall's console, unless you configure a network interface which is reachable via a secured network of some kind.
FreeBSD uses a slightly different set of commands to configure bridges, while the NetBSD PF implementation does not support bridging.
The exact method for configuring bridges differs in some details between the operating systems.

 BSD License????
At one point someone was interested in porting IPFilter to Linux, and it was working in late versions of Linux kernel 1.3 and early 2.0 back when Linux firewall code was weak.
IPfilter is pretty simple to use and very straightforward and PF is suposed to use the exact same syntax.
Now that Netfilter is superior in both features and flexibity to IPFilter (aside from the butt ugly and confusing configuration syntax), even if IPF were to suddenly become GPL licensed, Linux developers would have little reason to duplicate effort in an IPFilter port.

 Building an OpenBSD firewall for use with Telstra-Optus
An incorrectly configured IPF rule can prevent you from accessing the firewall across the network connection.
IPF rules are typically stored in the file /etc/ipf.rules.
One of the major improvements PF has over IPF from OpenBSD 2.x is the ability to use variables in your rules.

 ONLamp.com: NAT with pf
This setup is not very safe, so you might consider moving the server behind a firewall, into a DMZ network segment.
Adding a second redirection rule for the internal interface does not have the desired effect either.
Ordinarily, such a server must listen on a privileged port 80, and the machine it runs on must be directly accessible to external hosts.
