Can't connect to steam network through steam client
-
I just set up a pf box running the latest os, configured some port forwards for some servers im running which all work fine. Origin and Uplay game clients will both work correctly, when I try to connect to steam through the client it fails to connect. any ideas?
-
I've been running PFsense since 2009 (v1.2.3) and I've never had a problem with Steam or anything else.
Unless you've modified your firewall rules, PFsense is not the issue.
-
The only additional rules in the firewall that were not default are the ones that are auto added when you set up a port forward, when plugging directly into the modem it connects fine. The only other possibility is the netgear nighthawk that I have in AP mode for wireless.
-
Post a network map, so we can see how things are connected and what your IP ranges are.
Also, check the logs for blocks.
-
I figured it out, some how the netgear router knocked itself out of AP mode which was causing the issue.

@nadeemabasa : your forgot step 5 : "when some network device goes down, it should be removed from the network, or re inited." Because that was the case here. Some Netgear device transformed the network in a "router after router" situation. That wasn't a transparent issue fro the Steam client.

Could be simply because your Download server is set to a different location and basically it's proving so hard for steam to pull out the files from the remote server. Go to the setting and change the Download Location or Server to your nearest location. I hope this helps. To resolve this you must check this https://validedge.com/could-not-connect-steam-network/ and if you got the solution.
