Multicasts port 5353, 224.0.0.251, unblockable!

Where is your trace coming from, WAN or LAN? I have no idea why it's acting this way. Lots of other users complaining about those packets being blocked when they actually want them.

I should said they come from a client on the 192.168.100.0/24 network. :) I have tried all kind of ACL, and I dont manage to block the mDNS traffic. Other traffic works as it should. Its just a lab env so I might install a new pfsense fw and see of its somekind of configuration issue.

OMG. Which part of "you must block where the traffic comes from" is unclear? Put the blocking on LAN, not WAN!!!
-
It's very hard to diagnose and fix a problem when you provide incorrect details. Knowing your WAN from your LAN is kind of important to get right.
-
Yeah. For starters, why don't you just MOVE whatever to a completely different space? Why don't you use 10.x.x.x. or 172.16.x.x on one or the other to make it much more clear?
As a side note: hope you did not install shit like Avahi on your pfSense. That will reflect those mDNS multicasts among different networks by default and by design.

I have had the blocking on WAN and LAN and Floating. Still is the traffic mDNS traffic comming trough the interfaces.
I have not changed network address space yet. My WAN is on a private address space. :)
No Avahi on pfsense. But it is Avahi from my mediaplayer that seend out these requests.
-
I see the mDNS traffic on both the LAN and WAN interface if I do a packet capture in pfsense. But its not seen in the webinterface, even if I make a rule that should log mDNS traffic.
Blocking 224.0.0.251, and even 224.0.0.0/6, UDP port 5353 and the source adress of the mDNS server!!

Is it possible that you have IGMP snooping misconfigured on your switch, or a switch with a defective IGMP snooping implementation? It might be that pfSense has nothing to do with this.
I hope you are running LAN and WAN on separate VLANs or separate switches, otherwise you have a single broadcast domain for both networks.

I change to class b network. 172.16.199.0/16 and still getting mDNS packet…
-
"and still the damn packets come though."
Sorry but multicast is not going to pass through pfsense.. And it sure and the F is not going to come from wan to lan.. So clearly you have your wan and lan connected at layer2.. multicast is not going to route through pfsense..
So how exactly do you have pfsense connect to what on its lan and wan?
