Container networking relies on NAT to allow container network packets out to the host's network. This requires a PF firewall to perform the translation. A simple example is included - to use it: # cp /usr/local/etc/containers/pf.conf.sample /etc/pf.conf ... Edit /etc/pf.conf and set v4egress_if, v6egress_if to your network interface(s)s ... # sysrc pf_enable=YES # service pf start
