A sample patch (that doesn't appear to work for me) is https://github.com/opnsense/src/commit/7514cc670601b566f30e0386ef8885660a27aa5a#diff-f038606be7fc68e05878b9cdbb32e21f I'll debug a bit more and find/write/modify a patch to see if I can address it. > I agree, mixing firewalls carrys risks, but afaik the only current way to > use pf with dummynet is to mix with ipfw > > Regards, > Kristof > _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
