You cannot queue inbound traffic, only outbound. For simple PF
configs, only use queue on "pass out" rules until you get the hang of
it.

For advanced configs, you can queue inbound traffic on an outbound
interface if it leaves the router/bridge on a different interface than
it entered on.

(simple and advanced are, of course, subjective terms)
