In fact, pf can already do this out-of-the-box, by doing something like: table <sshlusers> persist pass quick on $wan_if proto tcp from any to any port ssh flags S/SA keep state \ (max-src-conn 15, max-src-conn-rate 5/3, overload <sshlusers> flush global) If that is not an option, I have found that security/denyhosts works pretty well too (it just adds IP's to /etc/hosts.deniedssh, and host_access(5) denies them based on this) Regards, -- Rink P.W.
