Is it possible to apply filtering rules to replies to translated packets? It appears that replies to translated packets are allowed through, without question. I have an OpenBSD router, from which I forward a range of ephemeral ports to various LAN computers, and would like to prevent RST segments from being sent out to the internet, in reply to forwarded connections. This way, applications which create listening sockets using ephemeral ports (such as DCC in my IRC client) will still work, but no one will be able to port scan me and have any indication as to which port ranges are being forwarded. It of course would be possible to try to filter RST segments at each computer on the internal network, but I'd prefer to do this at the router. Any ideas?
