      Rejected packets being reported as blocked by the firewall log.

      Firewall Rule (at top of list):
      Reject TCP/UDP * * WAN Address 21(FTP) * none

      Attempt to telnet to WAN address on port 21 results in connection refused being returned and the firewall log showing the connection action as block instead of rejected.

        PF strictly logs block or pass, not reject. Reject is logged as blocked.

          Firewall logs documentation is incorrect then?

          "Each entry is displayed with the action (pass, block, reject, etc), time, interface, source, destination, and protocol."
