Thank you for you suggestion, Cristian. I have implemented your suggestion with unexpected results. Note: I did reboot the system after I changed rc.conf.
$ cat /etc/rc.conf clear_tmp_enable="YES" sendmail_enable="NONE" hostname="donsoptiplex" keymap="us.kbd" ifconfig_em0="DHCP" ifconfig_em0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv" ntpd_enable="YES" # Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable dumpdev="NO" dbus_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" autofs_enable="YES" kld_list="/boot/modules/i915kms.ko" sound_load="YES" snda_hda_load="YES" sddm_enable="NO" cupsd_enable="YES" devfs_system_ruleset="system" pf_enable="YES" pflog_enable="YES" pflog_logfile="/var/log/pflog" $ cat /etc/pf.conf set skip on lo0 block all pass in proto tcp to port { 22 } pass out proto { tcp udp } to port { 22 53 80 123 443 } pass out inet proto icmp icmp-type { echoreq } $ ls -l /var/log/pflog -rw------- 1 root wheel 24 May 25 21:51 /var/log/pflog $ sudo pkg update Password: Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...

Did I miss something?
