Rules + Schedules Ineffective?
-
I'm on 2.2.6 and behavior persists with certain state types. I understand the logic behind the handling of states, but the schedule should work.
Have a son who has learned to use betternet vpn, which keeps a state open, unfortunately. In turn, this allows him full internet access after he's supposed to have it.
EDIT:
The bug supposed to address this (will find number and add to this post) seems not to have addressed the issue at all.In System - advanced - misc: (which BTW is a stupid place to bury this option) the option "schedule states" shows an unchecked checkbox by default. According to the explanation:
"By default, when a schedule expires, connections permitted by that schedule are killed. This option overrides that behavior by not clearing states for existing connections"
The default behaviour of schedules should be as explained, but active states remain persistent after schedule block occurs.
Is this a reopen bug issue? I don't think the bug should be closed.

pfsense - 2.2.6
I've removed the default allow rule and setup allow rules permitting access.
Works great for all but UDP.
There appears to be no solution so I'm now going to play with placing the default allow back in and utilising the traffic shaper to kill data flow between certain times.
I have my Fingers crossed.If there's a thread that I've missed with a solution (apart from the cron job) please let me know!
Thank you!

Has this been fixed or has someone found a reliable work-around?

I'm on 2.2.6 and still experiencing this issue.. : https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=108943.0
Waiting for a solution.. -
Any updates?
I am having an issue using a scheduled block on Steam ports -states not clearing automatically..
-
Could someone please have a look at my LAN rules?
I have Steam ports as an alias ' Steam' on 2x different schedules..
The goal is to block Steam at a scheduled time however, the states do not flush ?
Am I doing something wrong?

Anyone? :o
-
Anyone have an update on the UDP states issue?
-
Bump?

I'm another parent having this issue. I've set rules up to stop Internet access at 8pm, yet I can still hear my son playing and talking on Skype upstairs until I do a states reset.
-
I just tried it in 2.4 and it seems to work. I created a schedule for when Internet was allowed. Next, a pass rule for one host tied to the schedule, immediately followed by a block rule for that host with no schedule. Works until the time expires and then everything dies.
-
mmm, I'm on 2.3.2, wonder if it's worth an upgrade.
-
Depends on how comfortable you are running beta software.
-
I am still having issues with udp states reestablishing after the schedule expires, even with a cron task to kill the states.. The UDP states continue to reestablish until a 'reset states' is completed.
Any updates on this?

Bump

Bump what? Nothing new here in past 10 hours.
-
Well, bump as I can't seem to get a response to an issue that has been outstanding for quite some time.
Did you have anything constructive to add or are you just a smartass?
-
Has anyone found a reliable way to get the scheduled pass to work correctly?
I am still having an issue with the UDP states remaining after the PASS schedule expires.

Fresh install on 2.4.0, issue still there.
Daughter on skype and whatever and the Schedule is currently not active, so new connections will not work
My Lan rules:
first is the kids allow rule
2nd is the kids block rule
But in order to cut them off I had to reset the states ( Diagnostics - States - Reset States )
