The rather liberal use of "From Any IP to Any IP" in this filter
set would make me more than a little nervous.

The filters should be narrowed down to only allow connections to
the IP Addresses (or aliases) that you intend for the services.

That's about as specific as I can get without also seeing the
tunnels, and possibly a list of servers on your network, what
services they provide, and to whom they provide them.
