Apple TV and VPN on pfsense 2.4
-
That should work. A policy rule on LAN catch all traffic from the Apple TV device and route it via the default gatway is what I would do there.
The rule must be above whatever rule is catching traffic for the VPN.
Can we see a screenshot of the LAN rules?
You should not need a specific outbound NAT rule for that. The default rules will NAT all traffic from the LAN leaving the WAN to the WAN interface anyway.

Funny, youtube on appletv works but netflix still complains that cannot resolve. here is the image of LAN rules !

Hi,
Your second firewall rule tells me that on the LAN interface there is a device with alias APPLEID.
The LAN interface never receives any "IPv4 - TCP" packets from this device.
The rule is never applied.I would have done this :
test : Is the alias correct ? Are you sure ?? (be careful : this one is nasty : maybe the Apple TV is using IPv6 - because it is very capable doing so and I bet your alias is not covering any UIPv6).
test : Is the device using TCP ? Can it be UDP, you limited to "TCP only" Why ?
test : is the ALIAS ok ? (the Apple TV is using this IP ?) -
Yes, you probably want protocol 'any' there not just TCP.

So Apple TV is using static IP and IPv6 is disabled on network so I am sure alias is right. I changed protocol to any, Traffic is going but with time out. Here are the screenshots.

Reset the state table, to flush out any 'old' references that failed.
Use the network check tool present in your apple thing and see if he is happy now.

:( done the reset, cleared all tables but netflix still hangs when trying to play something

But other things do work?
You may have a DNS issue. If you are passing the pfSense LAN IP to the AppleTV to use for DNS (it looks like you are) it may be leaving from a different WAN. Netflix uses DNS source among other things to determine if you're using a VPN.

Yes other things work , DNS issue might have sense. Do you think setting up DNS like 8.8.8.8 on Apple TV would solve DNS issue?

It works with Google DNS on Apple TV manually. Thanks for your help guys!
