Reset PF Firewall Automatically While Testing Configuration With Remote Server Over SSH Session

I'd like to tell my BSD PF firewall to flush out the current configuration every 2 minutes. This will help when I'm testing a new rules and configuration options. Some time I find myself locked out of my own remote server. How do I reset PF firewall automatically without issuing hard reboot?

There is no need to write a shell script and call it from cron. You can load the rules from the /etc/pf.conf and sleepf or 120 seconds then disable pf:
#/sbin/pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf && sleep 120 && /sbin/pfctl -d
Where,

• -f /etc/pf.conf - Load the rules contained in /etc/pf.conf.
• -d - Disable the packet filter.
• sleep 200: The sleep command suspends execution for a minimum of 200 seconds before calling the next command.

You can also test pf.conf for syntax errors:
# /sbin/pfctl -nf /etc/pf.conf
Finally, && (AND list) shell control operator is to used run next command only if, first command returns an exit status of zero. So each command in list must be successful in order to run next command.
# /sbin/pfctl -nf /etc/pf.conf && /sbin/pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf && sleep 120 && /sbin/pfctl -d
