Hiya

I have a server which acts as a gateway between the internet and my internal network. The external interface receives its IP address via DHCP. I set up pf.conf to allow DHCP packets via ports 67/68, but I notice that when the server boots, the DHCP exchange happens /before/ PF gets started.

Does this mean that adding rules for DHCP isn't necessary (my firewall rules are block in/pass out, with a bit of NAT thrown in)?

Does this mean that when my machine boots, there's a window between the interfaces coming up and the firewall being enabled?

Thanks,

--Jon
