File Uploads to Internet not working with PF Sense as Gateway
-
I just got a call, the person who made the floating rule change had made a mistake, it's still broken (so I deleted the message to save on confusion). He had left the packet filtering disabled after making that floating rule change, so everything was working, but only because the firewall was disabled, so we're in the same boat as the original message.

Why don't you just unplug the pfSense box since it's absolutely useless there. (Don't forget to come back to tell how it all of a sudden started working after doing so; I'm all ears.)
-
It's not useless, we need it for QoS when data goes out it's WAN interface…. but thanks for the suggestion.......

You cannot get any QoS with packet filter disabled.

Speaking of useless…..

Packet filtering IS enabled, if we disabled it then our problem is solved, but we need it for QoS… like I mentioned in the first post (unless calling it the firewall is incorrect, then my mistake).
-
You just told us you disabled it. With that, the whole pfSense box is sitting there completely useless. Since you posted absolutely ZERO information about your traffic shaping setup, perhaps try a crystal ball.

We've set ANY ANY rules on the firewall of the PFSense Box, which we've had to leave enabled because we do traffic shaping on the box.

I never posted any information about traffic shaping because I wasn't asked for it. My whole question was on things that I should take a look at....other then a crystal ball.

No shit… The only thing the box is supposed to do is traffic shaping, and you need a special request to post relevant info? ::)

Try a packet dump and see if the packets are indeed coming in and going out. PFSense typically works out of the box for simple setups like connecting out to the Internet with QoS, so for things to not work typically requires the admin to make a bunch of changes.
P.S. they may seem a little rough around the edges, but they know what they're doing and they're helping you learn to anticipate what information to provide instead of a ton of back and forth.

Thanks Harvy66,
I've done a packet capture and everything seems to be going back and forth without issue (from what I can tell).
One thing I've found, files upload without any issue if they are under ~50kb, as soon as they are larger then 50kb they wont upload, unless I turn off packet filtering of course.
