      I have spent hours reading and configuring my pfsense firewall to work with Magic Jack. Voice is still choppy no matter what I do.

      What I have tried so far:

      • Opened all ports (port forwarding) explained here: http://www.moushigo.com/2009/01/29/magicjack-installation-firewall-setup-and-port-settings/
      • I changed my firewall NAT to "Manual Outbound NAT rule generation (AON - Advanced Outbound NAT)"
      • I tried to stop the UDP re-write by following some youtube video

      Still I get choppy voice in one direction. Going outbound from my home. Meaning at home I can hear fine but person at the other end hears choppiness.

      If someone can help me I would really appreciate it.

      Version I am running: 2.2.6-RELEASE (amd64)
      built on Mon Dec 21 14:50:08 CST 2015
      FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p25

        Sounds like the upload of your internet connection is saturated.

        Ive got a counterpart that has a few magicjack lines and does absolutely no port forwarding at all. Your chasing the wrong tree.

          I doubt that's the case, I have 90 down, 10 up. Pretty big pipe I would say. I had LinkSys WRT1900AC as the gateway before I put in Pfsense, it was working flawlessly.

          Should I use UPNP service in Pfsense and give that a try?
