3 # This is an example of a fairly heavy firewall used to keep everyone
4 # out of a particular network while still allowing people within that
5 # network to get outside.
7 # The example assumes it is running on a gateway with interface ppp0
8 # attached to the outside world, and interface ed0 attached to
9 # network 192.168.4.0 which needs to be protected.
12 # Pass any packets not explicitly mentioned by subsequent rules
14 pass out from any to any
15 pass in from any to any
17 # Block any inherently bad packets coming in from the outside world.
18 # These include ICMP redirect packets, IP fragments so short the
19 # filtering rules won't be able to examine the whole UDP/TCP header,
20 # and anything with IP options.
