pfSense 2.6.0 iPhone Wifi Calling No Longer Working

johnpoz

@rjamesm well you might have to do some troubleshooting of the actual call over wifi - Love to help look into that.. And I do have a verizon phone to test with.

But have to get on a plane in a few hours - heading out to san diego to visit the grandkids.. But happy to try and dig into what could be going on when I get back in 8 days.

rjamesm

@rjamesm Yes, I just moved it to do test when I sent you the screenshot.

@rjamesm wish I had an answer for you - but there is really nothing in pfsense that should block it - its not anything anything really fancy..

Quick google found this - but my quick breeze of the thread doesn't provide much info

@rjamesm looking in my state table - these are most likely the wifi calling connections

That bottom one there is most likely my wifes phone

When you setup your vpn connection - did you mess with automatic outbound nat, setting it to manual - many a guide says to do that nonsense.

Could your phone being trying to do the wifi calling over IPv6? Something else to look into that could be problmatic?

You have any rules in floating?

That 208.x IP is my iphone for sure and wifi calling something

NetRange:       208.54.0.0 - 208.54.159.255
CIDR:           208.54.0.0/17, 208.54.128.0/19
NetName:        TMO2

Since I am on tmobile

I would prob look in your state table for anything from your iphone IP.. You should a state to :4500 established.

@johnpoz said in pósense 2.6.0 iPhone Wifi Calling No Longer Working:

4500

I checked previously for that state 4500 on the IP address of that iPhone and it doesn't show.

When I setup VPN I did setup Hybrid at first to allow outbound to certain devices.

Floating rules are only these two.

@rjamesm what are those - those are not hybrid rules.. You have one there without a interface and says jsut address?

I would switch that back to full automode, Looks like you have anything coming from the 192.168.1 doing static as well.. etc..

Mmm, you have some odd rules there. The one with no interface is particularly suspect.

And, you have set static source ports for all of LAN. The issue with that, potentially, is that if you have two phones trying to connect to the same external IP you might have a state conflict where one connection fails. You should still see port 4500 states present though.

Ok so testing last night. We are using for this setup Verizon 5G home internet and have set the modem to bridge mode on to the pfsense firewall. I reset to factory settings the Verizon 5G router and completely bypassed the pfsense firewall and once the iPhone is connected to that router, it still doesn’t get Wifi Calling. I suspect that it has to be an issue with Verizon begin in the same network and not enabling wifi calling.

None of the state in pfsense show UDP traffic to those ports 4500

stephenw10

Anything on port 500?

If it's not even opening a state on LAN it sounds like it's failing before that point. Like maybe it can't resolve the VPN servers IP.

rjamesm

Hi,

Just want to let you guys know that this problem is not pfsense or my current setup. I called Verizon and it has to do with that the internet which is Verizon 5G Home Internet is utilizing the same cell towers so when the iPhones connect through pfsense, Verizon is just not switching them to WIFI Calling because its on the same network.
