    @stephenw10 This is my final note since it seem you will always look at this as an endpoint. It doesn't appear, it actually is, the facts are the facts. Still, moderator usually have a way to remove posts and ban single users, not just the entire herd, or at least the ones use. Perhaps those are more advance, or perhaps netgate forums lack that functionality. I never said negate took this issue lightly, I was just looking for some feedback. I have seen this process many times and for the looks of it, pfsense CE is very much in maintenance mode. Just because netgate wants to be politically correct does not mean it is not. The fact are there and they are fallowing the same path as others did. Again, this subject is just becoming redundant and it is affecting other users in the forum.

    Access from where? And opening RDP would be a BAD freaking idea!! https://msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2019/08/13/patch-new-wormable-vulnerabilities-in-remote-desktop-services-cve-2019-1181-1182/ Just one example of why its BAD idea to expose rdp to the public.

    I couldn't find a hardware problem, but i suspect it was a cpu issue. Anyway, I replaced it with a used Dell optiplex 390 with core i5 and things are running smoothly. Thank you for the replys

    Ah, OK. Yes you would need firewall rules to pass the traffic. That should have appeared as blocked traffic in the firewall log before you added that TCP rule. You might want to just change that rule to allow 'any' protocol but set the source as WANnet and destination as LANnet. That will restrict it to local connections only. You will still need the static route to the .20.x subnet on every client that needs to access it. An alternative would be to put the static route on your upstream router instead. However you will hit asymmetric routing issues if you do. Steve

    Yup, you could change the default gateway. That really does change it for everything on all interfaces though and the firewall itself. If you need to change that for over 100 rules I would probably edit the config directly and then restore it. There is always some rick of a typo doing that though. Steve

    You mean that little test thing in plex? This shows red? [image: 1567896967469-this.png] You notice mine isn't even enabled - doesn't mean anything ;) Notice the part where is say "MAY NEED TOO" - when your doing it via cloudflare reverse, you really on purpose do not enable this because then it hands out your IP, etc. Which you don't want because you want it going through your cloudflare reverse proxy.

    As I understand it that used to be the case, no way to kill the states that selectively, and that's why it behaves as it does. However I believe current versions of pf can in fact do that so it may be possible to do exactly that now. I have this issue myself. My backup WAN is data limited so I can't have connections using it continually after my main WAN glitches. Most traffic will fail back naturally as TCP connections close it's only really persistent UDP traffic that gets 'stuck', so VoIP and VPNs. My own WAN is good enough that I just don't failover that traffic but I understand that for many those are the most important connections. That said if it did just kill everything on the backup WAN when the main WAN comes bacl up it would needlessly interrupt that traffic. A cron-job that kills traffic on the backup WAN that runs at some off-peak time might be better. Steve

    Pfsense receive all multicast traffic

    The hand made querier work perfectly. We have the same comportment and the same result with the querier implemented in the L3 switch: All the multicast traffic is sended to the querier (so the implementation written by netgear for his own switches). When I created the topic I did not know that. It's been years since we've been working like this before going to a pfsense firewall and pointing that out, our previous firewall did not have such advanced statistics. So I never thought that the problem could come from the querier himself.

    Bad stuff basically any of those sites that are blacklisted or anything trump :) Figured there was a plugin for it but iam somewhat out of date on my pfsense. Yeah the caching was after though for system items to the equipment. Even if i do get around to it the size would be minimal. We use zfs on our server so was figuring on that and though we don't get a lot of blackouts we had one Monday that was nearly two hours so figured its a good time to install something that well kick back in without user input needed. We have a Asus AC86U which works great using Merlin's firmware but dual wan always been a mess on commercial routers. Thanks for the input. :)
