      Hi
      I try to configure my pfsense-firewall so that connections made from subnet1 to subnet2 are not listed in the statetable. I just would like to make a simple ip-address-based firewall.

      SYN-Scans are my daily business and so the state table of my pfsense firewall is quickly filled up.

      Changing with the WebGUI the rule parameter "state type" to "none" does not change anything. If you look at the /tmp/rules.debug file, the necessary pf-keyword "no state" is not added to the rule-line. Is this a bug??

      Thanks for help

        #1 You should be running 1.2-RC1 if you are not.
        #2 up your state table in System -> Advanced
