Sample PF for Stable

Here's a sample /etc/pf.conf for stable servers (do NOT use this for shell servers):

ExtIf = "vio0"
IP4 = "10.0.0.1"
IntIP4 = "192.168.0.1"
IP6 = "2001:db8::/80"
FlushUDP = "max-pkt-rate 10000/10 keep state (max 1000, source-track rule, max-src-nodes
 200, max-src-states 200)"
Flush = "keep state (max 1000, source-track rule, max-src-nodes 200, max-src-conn-rate 5
00/10 overload <badhosts> flush global)"
FlushStrict = "keep state (max 100, source-track rule, max-src-nodes 20, max-src-conn-ra
te 50/10 overload <badhosts> flush global)"
set skip on lo0
set loginterface $ExtIf
set ruleset-optimization profile
set syncookies adaptive (start 25%25, end 12%25)
table <ilines> persist file "/etc/pf/ilines"
table <badhosts> persist file "/etc/pf/badhosts"

block out log on $IntIP4

pass out quick proto tcp from $IntIP4 to port ssh
pass out quick proto {udp tcp} from $IntIP4 to port {domain}
pass out quick inet proto icmp from $IntIP4 # allow ICMP

You will then need to create a folder:

$ doas mkdir /etc/pf/

Then, add the list of ilines to /etc/pf/ilines.

198.251.89.130
198.251.83.183
209.141.39.184
209.141.39.228
198.251.84.240
198.251.80.229

2605:6400:0020:05cc::/64
2605:6400:0010:00fe::/64

Afterwards, any badhosts can be added to /etc/pf/badhosts.

To load the new configuration:

$ doas pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf
