            you put the rule on the LAN interface, not the WAN.

            My friend if you have a time and desire can you please just simple show 2 examples
            First allow only ports to use by local subnets which you set in your aliases

            Second allow to communicate with internet outside of pfsense with ports which you set in second aliases

                Wan you only need to set what you want coming in. Anything originating from LAN that is approved will get out. So a VPN port if needed would be an example of a WAN rule. But I have only 1 wan rule everything else is block, my LAN has the rules

                  (I presume you already removed the "LAN subnets" from Source)

                  f60d67d5-c687-4437-a0ed-6daf552e155d-image.png

                  Source LAN subnet going to WAN gateway, by NetGate docs rule. Why need to remove source?
                  I'm understood that rule correct apply to interface belong, but totally can be LAN subnet only direct to WAN gateway or VPN gateway only?

                        IMHO, rules look fine to me.
