Hello,

I have a fairly simple question that I can't seem to get an answer on, or not looking in the right place.

I have APF(firewall) installed on a server and have configured a number of rules to drop certain hosts silently.

The question I have, does "tcpdump" see the packets coming in before the firewall rules are applied or after the firewall rules are applied?

The reason I am asking this is because when I look at "tcpdump" I still see packets coming in from certain IPs that have been added in as "DROP" silently in APF. I have done all the configuration changes and restarted the service to make sure everything is active from the new configs with APF.

I want to make sure the packets are actually getting dropped or somehow is the configuration still letting packets through!


Thanks for your time,
Michael
