PfBlockerNG blocking ports not listed in Alias port list

dbennett

Greatings! New to pfBlockerNG but have to say so far it's made my life a WHOLE lot easier

Except for one part; blocking of ports I don't want blocked.

I assume it's my configuration thus the reason I'm here.

The rule that was created:
I've selected Top20 IPv4, Deny Inbound, Enabled Logging, Enable Custom Port (added email server ports).
&
Added IP's that are located in the Top20 that require access to monitor outages.

Firewall Log:
I'm noticing that pretty much EVERYTHING in the Top20 is getting blocked including the IP's listed in the pfBlockerNGSuppress Alias

I checked the Floating rules and it's there right at the top
IPv4 Any pfB_Top_v4 Any Any "emailports" (alias), any

Thoughts please!

Hi Dino,

In the "Adv. Inbound Settings", did you change the "Protocol" setting from "any" to "TCP/UDP" or as required for the choice of ports used? Keeping it as "any" will cause pfSense to act on "any" port….

NOPE!! Still any… I'll change that ASAP

Thanks!!
