        It's blocking everyone because you're using a /24, dude.  It's single host or /32

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

            Like I said, reboot to factory and start over.  No idea what you have where.

            Look at your firewall rules on LAN and see what rule is blocking what.

              If you have the transparent proxy enabled in pfsense then you may also need to add a custom ACL to the proxy settings to limit access during specific times if you're still finding you have web access.

              Below is a rule I use for my kid's devices at night while allowing their devices to still download updates:

              ##  day-abbrevs:
              #	S - Sunday
              #	M - Monday
              #	T - Tuesday
              #	W - Wednesday
              #	H - Thursday
              #	F - Friday
              #	A - Saturday
              
              ###Domains used for downloading google and itunes updates
              ##YouTube domain used for other account login
              acl gLogin dstdomain accounts.youtube.com
              ##Google Playstoe
              acl gStore dstdomain .gvt1.com .googleusercontent.com .ggpht.com .google.com .gstatic.com .android.com .googleapis.com
              ##iTunes Store
              acl iTunes dstdomain .apple.com .apple.com.edgesuite.net mzstatic.com
              
              ## Deny access from kids devices late at night
              acl KidsDevices src 192.168.1.40/29 192.168.1.48/31
              acl night time 22:00-24:00
              acl morning time 00:00-6:00
              http_access deny KidsDevices night !gStore !iTunes !gLogin
              http_access deny KidsDevices morning !gStore !iTunes !gLogin
              
              ##Deny access from kids devices after 8:45pm on school nights
              acl school_night time SMTWH 20:45-22:00
              http_access deny KidsDevices school_night !gStore !iTunes !gLogin

                WOW so now i'm really clueless.. instead of resetting and doing a factory reset. took out the CF card and wrote a fresh copy of 2.2.6-RELEASE (i386) onto it.

                went trough the initial wizard and and then tested the block rule then reset stats and ever rebooted and same thing.. the test device which is my phone was still able to connect to the internet.

                it makes no sense. if it wasnt for the performance bandwidth wise i getting out of this i would of chucked it by now..

                why is blocking so hard?

                  Is your phone getting the same IP address each time it connects to your WiFi? Have you turned off mobile data on your phone when performing the test (if your phone gets blocked on your WiFi network it may be switching to the mobile network)?

                    i set the ip as static also it jailbroken so i can see the IP on the top bar.

                    but tried disabling the mobile data and still got access to the internet

                      Does your WAN have IPv6 as well as IPv4? The phone could be operating on IPv6 and your block only works on IPv4.

                      Have you tried disabling the two default allow rules on the LAN interface to see if traffic is blocked?

                      Try enabling logging in the rules to see if they are being triggered. You could also run a packet capture under the diagnostics menu to see what traffic from your phone is hitting the LAN interface.

                      Have you looked through https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Firewall_Rule_Troubleshooting?

                      Not sure what else to suggest.
