On RELENG_7 and 8 I use something like that.  Is there a different IP
they might be connecting to that is not covered under $wan_if?



table <bruteforce> persist
table <SSHTRUSTED> {xx.yy.zz.aa}



block log all
block in log quick proto tcp from <bruteforce> to any port 22
pass in log quick proto tcp from {!<SSHTRUSTED>} to self port ssh \
        flags S/SA keep state \
        (max-src-conn 6, max-src-conn-rate 3/30, \
        overload <bruteforce> flush global)
pass in log inet proto tcp from <SSHTRUSTED> to self port ssh keep state
