If you are just trying to reload the changes made to pf.conf, use
"/etc/rc.d/pf reload". That flushes everything except for the state
table, leaving your connections intact. Another method is to set
"flags any" for each rule, which should allow connections to recover
after the states are flushed, but this would be a bad idea
security-wise.
