The following text in the "Interfaces" page has to be updated:

"Note:
be sure to add firewall rules to permit traffic through the interface. Firewall rules for an interface in bridged mode have no effect on packets to hosts other than m0n0wall itself, unless "Enable filtering bridge" is checked on the System: Advanced functions page."

since the setting is gone now:

"Enable filtering bridge
This is no longer available because it is not applicable with if_bridge, the new way of bridging in FreeBSD. Filtering always occurs on the member interfaces of the bridge. It is retained here as a notice for those accustomed to using this option. "

All of this makes little sense.

Thanks.
