      Hi Chaps and Chapettes!

      Quick on, I am able to create a schedule and rules and alianses, no problem. I have setup such, that at a specific time, any traffic gets blocked.

      However, initially i thought i was doing this wrong, as when I was running a ping to google.com and enabled the rule, nothing happened. but if i stoped and started the ping, it kicked in.

      Is there a setting I need to check to get pfSense to drop any already established connection if it matches the criteria?

        If there is a state, you would have to kill that state..

          If you apply the schedules in the inverse way, set scheduled rules to allow traffic, the states created by that schedule should be dropped when it ends.

          You can prevent that by setting "Do not kill connections when schedule expires" in    System > Advanced > Miscellaneous.
