      I added the floating rules to try and fix the problem.  I do have the rules on LANGENERAL and I had them originally but it wasn't working so I've been trying to see if floating ones on wan out would work.  Which kind of did but requests and responses are way way slow.

        If you read and understood the Firewall link above you would know that that rule would not fix anything.  You really do have to understand these concepts if you are to be successful at maintaining this firewall.

        If you place your rules correctly it will work.  Now nobody knows what you clicked or set to try to "fix" the problem.  I recommend you reset to factory and start over.  Go step by step.  Start with LAN and WAN and add the other interfaces one at a time.

        You can backup your config so you can get back to the current state almost instantly.

          And it's XenServer I just saw…

          Not currently the best choice for FreeBSD/pfSense.

          You are probably chasing phantoms in your rules when your problem is really in Xen/FreeBSD:

            It must be something with xen pfsense combination ,    I stripped down all my interface to only two wan -> lan  and allowed any to any rules on lan …
            and was still experiencing still same slow responses and traffic.

            Any idea when this is going to be fixed for xen ?

              You can fix it now.  Look at the link above.  There's a better summary that is exactly what you have to do:

                Oh man,  that was it,  I wasted two days chasing the rules and in the end it was the driver problem this. Thank you :)

                  And here I was, thinking that putting "IMPORTANT" in the title would make people with Xen read it :p Glad you got it sorted.

                    Yeah I know I didn't even look in the Xen forum, didn't think it was the xen issue originally.

                      Oh well, at least there is a central place for reference commands, so people can be pointed towards it when they have questions :)
                      How is the performance?
