Pfsense blocking Playstation network on my ps4 and 3 and other phone apps
-
Well your going to have to sniff to see what might be going wrong, maybe dns is not working? Maybe pfsense is sending on the traffic to connect and your just not getting any answers.
What exact errors do you get? Maybe the playstation network is just down - it is the holidays.. Don't they normally have issues then with everyone trying to register their new consoles that santa left, etc.
Don't have a console game in the house - since the boys moved out on their own years and years ago.. Or would be happy to walk you through sniffing the connection to say the playstation store..
Here is the thing if pfsense for some crazy bug reason was blocking access to the playstation network - the the forums here would be ON FIRE with people screaming ;) So clearly that is not the case.
-
PSN is up if i just plug my shitty router in it works fine like i say its also apps on my phone that wont work too
-
Does your shitty router have UPnP enabled? You would hope not - that should be defaulted to OFF many many years ago.. But maybe you have it on and that is what is allowing whatever it is your saying is not working to work.
Your not doing any sort of VPN client connection on pfsense are you?
-
Dude you have Teredo via UPnP...
Yeah that is going to F up a whole bunch of shit most likely trying to tunnel IPv6...
So again this is NOT a default install since UPnP is not enabled out of the box..
-
i reinstalled pfsense this morning
-
and 1:1 NAT sure and the F is not default - remove that!
So you have a clean default install - and what exactly is not working - what is the error you get when trying to access the playstation store or network? You didn't do any port fowards or turn on UPnP or install any packages or setup any vpn connections, etc.
-
i reinstalled pfsense this morning none of that is there now
-
So what exactly is not working now.. Your playstation says what when you try and access the playstation network? But its normal connectivity test passes.
We are not talking what nat it reports or setting up any forwards for games, etc.

This is what im getting

It says your login is failing. Everything else is okay.
Instead of using WiFi, what happens when you hardwire it into the network?
-
Ok from that looks like your connection is good, just having problem signing in... So what does the status it says you can check say?
Also your speeds are wow crappy!!! 17.5Kbps upload?? WTF?? 1.5mbps down - what do you expect to do with that sort of connection? You would prob have better speeds hot spotted over your phones cell connection..
Maybe your connection is just so saturated that you can not login... What are you speeds suppose to be? What speeds do you get with a wire?

when i use the router on its own it signs in every time with 30 down 19.5 up

Sounds more like a WiFi issue than a pfSense issue.

That's not what I asked you to do.
FWIW, I rarely use WiFi for connections like these. I hardware EVERYTHING. I am lucky that I live in a ranch-style house with an unfinished basement. I have wires running through the basement to every room that needs a connection. The few things that are not wired are usually the mobile devices. But everything else, including my PS4 is hardwired.
The devices you're having problems with, are they all using WiFi? Or are any of them hardwired?

I tried with ethernet on ps4 get the same problem
Here is ps4 with outbound nat rule in place

Do the following:
1 - Reset pfSense to default. Do a basic configuration (no changes to rules, adding packages, etc.; just enter basic settings to get it on the network). Configure for your PPPoE. Do nothing else.
2 - Reboot all of your network gear from the ISPs drop to your PS4.
3 - Test the PS4.The error is a login error. Did you try re-entering your login credentials?
-
yes and like i say it works fine with the plusnet router
-
And what speeds do you get with this other router?

Sounds very much like a WiFi issue, not a pfSense issue.
