Discord - Voice being blocked
-
I've noticed that Discord voice chat gets blocked after a period of time, but the text chat stills works. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I have to assume that my client gets moved to a new server and thus the voice UDP is being dropped as we didn't establish the connection but this is just a guess.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'll second this. Since the last patch discord voice doesn't work, troubleshooting from Discord says this happens when behind a firewall (duh) or a VPN network not routing properly. But this just started occurring recently. Watching full logging turned on, I don't see any blocked packets outgoing from the PC, I do see blocks inbound but not sure if this is just your usual probes/etc and not anything coming back in for discord.
Update: This was a report from my kid. Researching more and changing his firewall rules to use the routers default route instead of primary/secondary (I have 2 DSL lines), seemed to have fixed it for him. Strange thing is I toggled it back to what it was and it still works (so far) for him….

ok. i'm no pfsense power user by any stretch of the imagination, and i have searched for an answer…... but was wondering if there's a fix to this by allowing discord as an outbound rule somehow.
every time i go to use discord voice it uses a different port number, and i don't think there's any way to specify which port for it to use. it seems every discord channel has a different port and even if i'm on the same channel a while the voice port seems to change.
every time i use discord i have to use wireshark to see what port is being used, and add that to the firewall aliases. is there an easier way?
thanks! -
Discord should work perfectly out of the box with PFSense. I never had to configure anything and it has always worked for my wife and I.
By default, PFSense does not block outgoing traffic. It will allow the outgoing packet and auto-magically create a state for the incoming traffic so the remote device can talk back.
If creating your rules is "working", could we see those rules and which interface? It may give some insight to how something is broken. If it needs to open incoming ports, you may need to use UPNP.
The original post was guessing they were getting moved to another server, which would make sense since it would cause the remote sender to no longer be valid.
