      Hi!
      I've been using my Pfsense CE 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) for several months now.
      So far happy with the performance and overall stability/tweakability.

      My kids need to access zoom meetings for class, and usually it works, except for some IDs. I think I've added all possible IP ranges according to the zoom website to the whitelist (gets downloaded every week or something) also another whitelist with the ASN thingie.

      But still the only way of accessing the meeting is by opening the meeting from the PC within a browser. It will not work with the windows software or tablet app.

      I understand this somehow seems like a zoom issue, but, if I take the firewall out of the loop, connecting directly to the phone company's router they can access without any problems.

      Has anybody else seen this issue? I can't seem to find the exact error or blocking or anything in the logs. Or the request might appear in the dashboard pfblockerng thingie as allowed.

      I've tried disabling PFBlockerNG, doesn't help. I haven't tried uninstalling pfblockerng rebooting, etc... Would that make a difference versus removing tick and hitting save?

      Thanks for your time and/or suggestions.

      Best regards,
      DennisMX

        Well out of the box pfsense doesn't block any outbound anything.. So if something is not working, it something you did via blocking.. Be it pfblocker, IPS, etc. Or just dns related?

        Have you locked down your outbound rules from the any any rules?

        Simple thing to do might be to just sniff and see what is not working..

        In with the current circumstances - I would think it was a common config item.. The forums would be blowing up if users couldn't use zoom behind pfsense.

          The weird thing is, just one room id doesn't work. But basically if I deactivate all blocks it should work, right? I should try that just to see if it works.
