@X2LR said in Port open yet firewall still blocking traffic:
Yes I reset states after changes
Well the client doesn't know that... So he had connection open, and wanted to continue to talk - so yeah your going too see those sorts of blocks until a new session is created.
Why are you resetting the states? You would only need to do that on a specific sort of rule change for any active states related to that specific rule.. Say you wanted to block 192.168.1.100 from talking to X.. So you created a block rule, you would have to clear the states for 192.168.1.100 talking to X to make sure that rule takes effect. You don't need to clear all of them ;)
So that right there explains what your seeing!
You can adjust the pfsense settings so that wan going offline because monitor doesn't get an answer.. One sec and post screen of where you do that.
edit: Uncheck this system / advanced / misc

But yeah your going to want to setup your p2p client not to use up your whole pipe ;) Have not had to deal with any of that in many years... I don't do any p2p to my home connection.. I run a seedbox elsewhere.. But you can setup limits in the client.. And could also limit with pfsense via limiters or shaping.
