Description

Scenario:

VLAN interface 172.31.22.251/24
Rules for VLAN interface:
PASS Prot. IPv4 *; source VLAN_net, port *; destination *, port *.

Since the default deny rule is in place, I'm expecting that no spoofed address can reach the Internet.
Unfortunately, using the tool provided by CAIDA (https://www.caida.org/projects/spoofer/), pfSense allows spoofed packets to transit.

The only way I found to block spoofed packets is to apply one more (redundant) rule for VLAN interface just before the previous PASS rule:
BLOCK Prot. IPv4 *; source !VLAN_net, port *; destination *, port *.

This way no spoofed packet can exit the WAN interface, as expected.

I bet this is not the correct behavior for rules with an implicit deny.
