Hi,

my -current firewall is configured to block all in, block all out 
and allow only certain outbound connections.

Now I want to allow outbound ftp connections.

I read ftp-proxy(8) and 
http://openbsd.org/faq/pf/ftp.html#client.

As I understand it, ftp-proxy could be used to create rules for 
inbound and outbound connections on 4.6. Now on -current the rdr 
keyword is missing from the pf.conf syntax. Instead ftp-proxy(8) 
suggests using rdr-to, but this only works for inbound 
connections.

Is it possible to allow ftp connections from a local client to
public ftp serves on the internet? Possibly by using ftp-proxy?


Kind regards,

Christopher

Use 4.6, read this: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html#20090901 or 
wait until 4.7 and read the new man page.

Cheers,
noah
