      I have 2 vlan on same the interface.
      I have a rule deny traffic between them, and rdp isnt working..
      but ping is always working.
      i have pfsense and tplink SG108E
      getting correct ip according to the vlan but ping is always working even when deny all..
      pc1 192.168.100.50
      pc2 192.168.200.1
      deny all from vlan100 net to vlan200 net..but ping is working...rdp not
      why ping keep working and not blocked..?

        I suspect, you have an L2 leak.
        Configure your VLANs properly so that both directions have to pass pfSense.

          @viragomann thank you for the answer, L2 you mean at the switch level? Or configure again on pfsense?

            Yes. probably the failure is on the switch.
            Your issue case seems to be asymmetric routing.

                @oren1031 if you are actively pinging and add the block, the state is still open:
                https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/firewall.html#check-the-state-table

                Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.
