Hi,

I would like people who know more about pf could explain why
so many changes in the default pf.conf that comes with 4.5

In 4.4, the default pf.conf had a commentted out:

# working nat rule
# working filtering policy that allowed outgoing traffic
# and blocked incomming traffic with some exceptions
# (smtp and ssh and icmp).

One could in most cases safely uncomment the rules
and things would work.

The new pf.conf can not be uncommented because it mentions
a macro ($proxy) that has not been defined.

Moreover, it has no nat rule except for the proxies (relay,
ftp, spamd, etc.). And it suggests no safe filtering policy.

So my question is, what is the reason behind the new pf.conf?

Thanks for the insights.

Regards,

Robson
