Rule not applied

Noctis

Hello there

I've applied a default "allow LAN to any" rule in the LAN 172.24.166/24, see Rule 2. Surprisingly the firewall blocks traffic to various CDNs. So I've created easy rules to pass this traffic.
Can someone explain me, why the default rule does not apply?

Regards, Noc

Yes, I read this:

Anyway, after applying the easy rules, e.g. gMusic works well again.

Those additional rules are pointless as the allow LAN to any rule is already letting everything through, so they won't even be hit by any packets.

I know, that is exactly my point.
But surprisingly, if I deactivate the rules, gMusic doesn't work that fast.

Those rules have ZERO to do with whatever you issue is.. Since they would never be evaluated - ever! Since your rule above them allows all traffic both ipv4 and ipv6. As you can see they have zero hits to them the 0/0 B on the left of them.
