Just to be very clear:
npf is a packet filter. npf is what you want to use. npf can do what you
want. it is built by default. you have it already and it works fine (yes,
on ARM too), you just need to set it up.

if you search for 'NetBSD pf', you will find that NetBSD has imported
pf from OpenBSD at some point... ignore this.
