redirect ping to google
-
I have firewall rules to trap DNS and redict to the local server per below
However, of my TVs wants to ping dns.google and even if I put a rule to pass ICMP, it is still being blocked by pfblocker.
Ideally, I want to redict those pings to pfsense so that the TV thinks it is getting a response from google. how do i do that?

ICMP ≠ TCP or UDP. It's ICMP.

It's the same as other redirections.
Add a port forwarding rule, select the ICMP protocol and the IP of the TV as source, at destination 8.8.8.8 (or maybe an alias if the device uses multiple IPs) and at redirect target set localhost or any other pfSense IP. -
@viragomann but i think pfblocker is still a problem then.
pfB_PublicDNS_v4 auto rule (1770016974) -

It shouldn't be.
The NAT rule is applied before firewall rules. So the the firewall sees the ICMP packets to the localhost or whatever. This must be allowed. -
