      Anyone know what the different firewall optimization settings are as far as the timeout in minutes.
      I suddenlly see an increase in sessions. I set it to conservative and it looks like its under control but need to know what the session timeout value. Any help is appreciated.

        Look at the output of "pfctl -st" from the shell or Diagnostics > Command. It will show all of your current timeouts.

          Is there a way to tweak these timeouts to much smaller values? especially the tcp.finwait timeout

            Not without manually hacking the filter.inc file to do what you want.
