No. Do not copy and paste something you do not understand. Let me quote from another post of mine, from last year. I don't think you've seen it.

I am guessing that you did not realize [your error] because you copied and pasted from someone else's configuration file, and then hoped things would work for you. Let us quote from Peter Hansteen's The Book of PF:

Just to hammer this in, please repeat after me:

The Pledge of the Network Admin


"This is my network.
It is mine
or technically my employer’s,
it is my responsibility
and I care for it with all my heart
there are many other networks a lot like mine,
but none are just like it.

I solemnly swear
that I will not mindlessly paste from HOWTOs."
If you are unable to understand and explain a configuration change you are making, then you are doing something wrong.
