Re: Trying to use kFreeBSD as a firewall, but it won't forward packets

So, the kFreeBSD box has a correct default route out to the Internet?
# route get -n 0.0.0.0

The LAN interface will need to have an appropriate IP address and
netmask assigned on it, and the interface must be 'UP' of course.

Does the kFreeBSD box have a correct route to the source?
# route get -n 192.168.1.2
(or whatever is the IP of that other box)

That's required, yes.

Please check if the ruleset is correctly loaded and enabled, e.g. with
# pfctl -ef /etc/pf.conf

It may be useful to check the output from
# pfctl -vsa
