          Ok so if they are all connected to OPT1 as shown in your diagram and the Roku devices did pull an IP then other devices in that subnet should also. Assuming they are configured as dhcp clients that is.
          Not sure what connection to LAN they had if they're are on OPT1 but that would be routed if you have rules to pass it.

                Your outbound rules should show up like this. Not with destination to WAN NET or Address.

                  Ooma's not Voip the way Freepbs is.
                  its a box that plugs into network. Has a phone jack on the back next to lan port.

                  If this doesnt matter, why did it matter with cisco router?

                  i dont have a VoIP tab up there, or routing, i only have, floating, wan, lan, and opt1 and 2. How do i get that up there ?

                    I showed you an example. You need to use a little logic. Whatever interface your phone thing is plugged into has to have access through the interface. The above example is how you do it.

                    Can you show a screenshot of your interface rules?

                              No. Devices do not care what you name your interface. Your device simply needs its internet access. If you plug in a computer into these ports does it get out to the internet?

                                  Does the Ooma have to go out for a TFTP transfer in order to work? You may need to adjust and use the TFTP proxy..

                                    not sure. Theres no real documentation on config other then plug into router, turn on, make calls 5 min later

                                    It worked fine with dhcp from cisco router, i dont get it. Other then it not plugged into pfsense, but a switch first

                                      Well- VOIP was never intended to be behind any kind of NAT when first implemented. It was hacked into the spec later when services like Vonage came around.

                                      You are trying to double NAT right now. Im not sure why it works with some and not with others but that is the case.

                                      But you could try putting some inbound firewall rules in place pointed at the Ooma device address. You need to find out what the device is trying to connect to by looking at your state table and watching firewall logs.

                                      Who is your VOIP provider?

                                        Also- go to System/Advanced.. /system_advanced_firewall.php on your firewall.

                                        Down to "Network Address Translation"

                                        "TFTP Proxy"

                                        Select the interface your Ooma resides on.

                                        Down to the bottom of the page and click "save"

                                        I do not know if you need a reboot or not.

                                        See if that helps.
