Blocked packets where pass rule exists

[unsichtbarre]

I have a pass rule for: 172.16.50.0/24 to 172.31.0.0/16 but I still see tons of packets blocked in the firewall log:

block/1000000103
Aug 11 09:42:42 IPsec 172.16.50.70:48531 172.31.12.102:4008 TCP:A
block/1000000103
Aug 11 09:42:42 IPsec 172.16.50.70 172.31.12.102 TCP:
block/1000000103
Aug 11 09:42:42 IPsec 172.16.50.70:48531 172.31.12.102:4008 TCP:A
block/1000000103
Aug 11 09:42:42 IPsec 172.16.50.70 172.31.12.102 TCP:

Why is the firewall blocking when I have a pass rule in place?

well 2 of those show TCP:A which would be Ack which points to out of state connections.
