That last hop is our router set and
net.inet.tcp.blackhole: 2
breaks things like traceroute.
“net.inet.tcp.blackhole defines what happens when the system receives a TCP packet on a closed port. When set to 1, SYN packets arriving on a closed port will be dropped without a RST packet being sent back. When set to 2, all packets arriving on a closed port are dropped without an RST being sent back. This saves CPU time, because packets don’t need as much processing, and outbound bandwidth, by not sending out packets.”
As for why? I’m not entirely sure yet. We haven’t been down though.
