Greetings. Perhaps someone could answer a question I have. I notice that when
I run ipstat I see many packets under 'nomatch'. I am wondering what this means. Why don't some packets "match"? My first two rules are block in on hme0 all pass out quick on hme0 from 214.43.22.55/32 to any keep state doing an ipfstat I see: bad packets: in 0 out 0 IPv6 packets: in 0 out 0 input packets: blocked 2504 passed 3776441 nomatch 722701 counted 0 short 0 output packets: blocked 0 passed 1635430 nomatch 658899 counted 0 short 0 I would assume that the two rules above would match every packet so where are these "nomatch" packets coming from? Thank you in advance for the help. |
