      Hi I have created a layer 7 container to block torrents
      bittorrent action block

      I have then created a floating rule
      action pass
      interface lan
      protocol tcp/udp

      and in the advanced section selected by container name

      but using abc torrent downloader as a test I am still able too down load the freebsd iso

      Have I done it right ?
      Thanks

          It might help if you were to provide screenshots of the configurations of both of those, so that people know what you've done.

              I would also like to know. I am in a similar situation and documentation in this area is sparse.

                  I'm experiencing the opposite: whenever I add a L7 rule - doesn't matter if it is on WAN, LAN or floating interface - all traffic is halted.

                  See my post at http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,45240.0.html

                  My settings look identical to that of @terryd.

                  Strange…

                  BTW, I'm running 2.01 with squid/squid filter. Not that squid should make any difference.
