      Hi,

      in my case I have configured two Clients. Each one is in a seperate network. The right client in interface OPT1 has a pass rule for ICMP and the left client in interface LAN has a block rule for all protocols. Why can the left client ping the right client if they pinging at the same time?

      Rules:
      OPT1:

        Possibly there was still an existing state when you tested this?

        You can reset states in Diagnostics > States.

          Key words, "at the same time", a state would be open at that time.
