      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?

              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?

                      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?

                                    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 )
