I've upgraded one of my firewalls to 4.7 and have revised a few of the 'rdr pass' rules to reflect the
syntax changes introduced in 4.7, but I'm not quite understanding why or when it would be appropriate to use
match over
pass in port redirection. Could someone enlighten me a bit? I've read the pf.conf man page but do better with practical examples when it comes to understanding concepts.
Also, I've read through the pf FAQ and man page trying to find out more about the
inet declaration in the rules. I understand this is an address family, but the docs don't speak of it (that I can find) beyond that. In the pf FAQ I see example rules using it and others not in spite of these rules looking very similar, but don't understand why. Oops, the post title should have read "proto vs inet proto".
Thanks for any responses.
