Not Blocking Ports

[Maverik]

I do apologize, im new to Pfsense.

I have Pfsense set up and working great.  But their is something I don't understand.

I use steam and play Counter Strike online.  From what I know, this needs a few UDP ports opened or forwarded.  But I did not have to, Pfsense did not block the ports.

Is their something about the default rules I don't understand?

Most basic default rule for pfsense is to allow anything to anywhere from LAN.
And stateful firewall as pfsense is keeps connections open to return trafic for a while.

You only need to forward ports if you want to run a server.

So my settings are not unsecure then?

Hard to say, because your config isn't viewed
