refimprove date July 2011 PF Packet Filter , also written pf is a BSD license d Stateful firewall stateful packet filter , a central piece of software for Firewall computing firewalling . It is comparable to iptables , Ipfirewall ipfw and ipfilter . PF is developed on OpenBSD , but has been ported to many other operating systems including Mac OS Mac OS 10.7 Lion , FreeBSD , NetBSD , DragonFly BSD and Debian GNU kFreeBSD . History PF was written by Daniel Hartmeier . It appeared in OpenBSD 3.0, which was released on 1 December 2001. ref http www.openbsd.org 30.html OpenBSD 3.0 Release Bot generated title ref PF was originally designed as replacement for Darren Reed s IPFilter , from which it derives much of its rule syntax. IPFilter was removed from OpenBSD s Concurrent Versions System CVS tree on 30 May 2001 due to OpenBSD developers concerns with its license. ref http marc.info ?l openbsd cvs&m 99118918928072&w 2 CVS commit removing ipf from the OpenBSD tree ref Features The filtering syntax is similar to IPFilter, with some modifications to make it clearer. Network Address Translation NAT and Quality of Service QoS have been integrated into PF, QoS by importing the ALTQ queuing software and linking it with PF s configuration. Features such as pfsync and Common Address Redundancy Protocol CARP for failover and redundancy, authpf for session authentication, and ftp proxy to ease firewalling the difficult File Transfer Protocol FTP protocol, have also extended PF. PF s logging is configurable per rule within the pf.conf and logs are provided from PF by a pseudo network interface called pflog , which is the only way to lift data from kernel level mode for user level programs. Logs may be monitored using standard utilities such as tcpdump , which in OpenBSD has been extended especially for the purpose, or saved to disk in a modified tcpdump pcap binary format using the pflogd daemon. Ports Apart from its home platform OpenBSD, PF is also installed by default in FreeBSD ... more details
