      Dude stop rebooting and restoring old configs and work with what is there and can find out what you have misconfigured..

        Well I did that because I want to find out what was the problem with the old config. Right now it works. Maybe after next boot it's not working anymore. I don't know.

          nonesense.. Unless you change freaking your confings around again.... Or you have problems with the rules loading? in general? Or you have delay in aliases working.. But if your putting in IP vs fqdn there should be no delay like resolving them.. that could maybe cause a problem.

          But if your trying to figure out what is allowing something out you have to work with current rules and states, and don't reboot in the middle, etc.

              That is not a "STATE"

                Well thats how it is right now. I only did a reboot to find out if this results in something and it looked like as you see above. Sometimes it was not working, after next reboot it was.

                  That is not a state, that is just your firewall rule and and what is in the alias... A "state" would be in your "state table" jimp already went over in great detail how to track down which rule created a specific state that could be allowing traffic through... If traffic is blocked then no states would be created..

                    Are these all of the rules defined on the interface? Are we looking at only a partial screen shot? What is the full text of that rule at the top (the one withi PROTO "any" and SRC "any")? The pop-up tooltip window is obscuring the rest of the rule. That rule, at least what appears in the screen, would allow all traffic and thus your block rules never get evaluated.

                        I now again recovered my old config from that date before I created this thread and everything works fine. I can't get it do not work anymore. And yes, I saved my config before I started to try anything last month.
