Hmm, it doesn't look like this could possibly work, unless I'm
missing something. Did you test it?
In one case the rule you added comes after an 'add pass tcp from
any to any setup', and in the other case it comes after an 'add
deny tcp from any to any setup', so in both cases, the line you
added should be ineffectual.
Furthermore, I don't believe there's any reason to use keep-state
with TCP. The rule to allow packets for already-established
connections suffices.
