      Hey Everyone,

      Does anyone know how do implement a UDP proxy on PFsense?

      I am trying to get my steam link working at home but I have multiple VLAN's

      10.1.1.0/24 - Internal Net
      10.2.2.0/24 - Server Net
      10.3.3.0/24 - Infra Net i.e. Nest Cam, Chromecast, Steam Link / Guest Net with AP Isolation
      10.4.4.0/24 - Management

      I want my desktop which is sitting in the Internal Net to communicate with the steam link on the Infra Net. The steam link finds devices by sending a udp packet to the broadcast of the local network. How can i forward those packets to another VLAN

        This is totally a DenverCoder9 xkcd 979 reference.. I had same problem. You never posted back what solved yours!

        Couple solutions:
        http://www.vttoth.com/CMS/index.php/technical-notes/63#Appendix
        https://www.waldonell.com/thoughts/articles/playing-multiplayer-starcraft-on-lan-with-multiple-subnets
        A CISCO switch with 'UDP Relay/IP Helper' option to forward port 27036
        Bridge the two networks
        only use 1 subnet in first place

        I ended up bridging the two… Don't need the security.
