Hi guys,

I'd just like to get back at this. I'm running pfSense 2.0-RELEASE and at
the end of the rule set of the WAN interface I've placed the following rule
which is supposed to limit incoming connections to a maximum of 5
per second.


<rule>
        <id/>
        <type>pass</type>
        <interface>wan</interface>
        <tag/>
        <tagged/>
        <max/>
        <max-src-nodes/>
        <max-src-conn/>
        <max-src-states/>
        <statetimeout/>
        <statetype>keep state</statetype>
        <os/>
        <max-src-conn-rate>1</max-src-conn-rate>
        <max-src-conn-rates>5</max-src-conn-rates>
        <protocol>tcp</protocol>
        <source>
                <any/>
        </source>
        <destination>
                <any/>
                <port>22</port>
        </destination>
        <descr><![CDATA[ssh inbound]]></descr>
</rule>


So opening a single connection to port 22 works just fine. But opening
additional ones are being dropped. Is this a desired behaviour on limiting
simultaneous connections or is it either a limitation?

Thx
