      How to control traffic originating from pfSense host?

      Example: allow pfSense host to connect only to Internet for NTP and DNS servers, and nothing else.

      Firewall rules apply to traffic entering a given pfSense host interface.

      Traffic originating from pfSense host itself exits, not enters, interface on pfSense host.

        In 1.2.3 you cannot do this.

        In 2.0, you can control this via floating rules.

        Why do you need to lock down traffic leaving the firewall?

          I want to lock down traffic leaving firewall for same reasons as for all other network devices.

          Block all and allow only what is required. And allow-and-log rules to monitor traffic and access with firewall.

          Thank you for responding. I will look at 2.0 and floating rules.
