Quick question about scheduling
-
Hey guys, I thought I was doing this correctly, but it doesn't seem to be working right. All I'm trying to do is setup a schedule for my daughters ipod. I've created a block rule for the device. I've also created an allow rule, configured with the schedule I want the device to have access. I attached a screen shot (the rules in question are for Mad's ipod block and Mad's ipod allow).
The issue that I'm having is that the device is always blocked. I tried switching the order around, and it just blocks the device regardless. I know I'm just missing something stupid and hoping to get a second set of eyes on this.
Thanks,

You've only allowed TCP. The iPod will need UDP for DNS as well. So change the protocol in the allow rule to TCP/UDP.
-
I knew it was going to be something silly. Thank you!
Edit: So I changed them to rule to say tcp/udp, and it is continuing to block the device. I tried changing the rule to say any, and I'm still having the same issue.

No expert here but pretty sure you need to have the Allow rule above the Block rule or it will always be blocked.
-
yeah your block rule there would always block that 10.10.0.40 devices - never get to the allow.
Rules evaluated top down, first rule to trigger wins, no other rules evaluated.

Perfect! After swapping them things seem to be working correctly! Thanks for your help! :D
