[SOLVED]Getting kicked out from playing Overwatch

Also why all the pfBlocker Geo blocks on the WAN interface traffic is denied by default?

It is the default behavior and works fine I think.

No it's not you've enabled them here and there is no need to unless your blocking a country in the region, are you telling me you have blocked something in Antartica

I only use it to block China, etc ... from hitting my sftp server.

@NogBadTheBad No, had it only enabled in Firefox, but after disabling it is still get this messages here. It is my regular ISP IP-address. I also use that for gaming, no VPN there.

I am not a total noob, just not a network professional.

BTW you've not removed your IP from the bottom of the screenshot .

[Bob.Dig]

I almost block everything because it is for incoming connections only I thought, it is for my server.

You right, will change it later anyways.

And default deny rule is probably not related to pfblocker anyway, right?

Everything would be blocked by default on the WAN interface, you've just changed the default deny rule into one huge set of firewall rules using pfBlocker.

Nope nothing to do with pfblocker.

@NogBadTheBad For incoming connections to my server it is what I want. I mean everything works but kicked out of the game randomly.

That is the point! Sorry i have to change my postings to not get marked as spam... I can't quote it seems....

Post the full WAN rules page.

[Bob.Dig]

@NogBadTheBad There is nothing of interest, some open ports (NAT) and the country blocks which again is intended.

[Bob.Dig]

Umm just noticed in the first screenshot it says default deny rule.

I don't think this is a pfBlocker issue.

Asymetric routing perhaps.

I want to come back to that asymetric routing.
My ISP is doing something, so that my Router can't see its internet IP-Address, but a different address. Maybe that is the problem for the firewall?

@Bob-Dig

So what are you using the pfBlocker GeoIP rules for on the WAN interface.

To Block all countries bar one for your inbound rules ?

[Bob.Dig]

@NogBadTheBad please see my posting above
And it is default on the wan interface and I am blocking almost everyone but some countries for incoming connections to my server, but is this really related to my Overwatch problem?

Your using pfBlocker wrong then.

You need to create an alias in pfBlocker and use it in a firewall rule to pass, doing it the way you are every packet will be evaluated top to bottom till there is a match.

[NogBadTheBad]

I think you need to talk with your ISP.

[Bob.Dig]

@NogBadTheBad One County or one list only would be easy because I could just Invert Source and everything would be fine. Your screen looks much more complicate to me.
So what I will do now is disable all geoblocking and all of pfblocker and will look if the problem still occurs.
Thank you for now!

I think you need to talk with your ISP.

It is a big one, Germanys second or third biggest cable-provider, so no chance, they do what they do.

Is it Telecolumbus ?

Whoever it is they are doing something funky as your router has a different IP address to what's reported by whatsmyip.

[Bob.Dig]

@NogBadTheBad Yes. But this IP is "made" for this and I can open ports etc. There is nothing I can do about it and maybe it is an pfsense-only or Fancy-Firewall-only problem.

[Bob.Dig]

@NogBadTheBad So after disabling pfBlocker I had no problem playing Overwatch, although it might be to early to say that definitely.

Anyway, maybe all this geoblocking was to much and had unintended consequences?

So I am looking at this alias permit thingy and I don't understand it at all.
When I permit something, where is it blocked in the first place to make any sense?
I made one up but couldn't see it under rules, where is it?
Maybe you have a link which fully explains it?
