      Hey everyone,

      I have a little problem with Skype.

      Chat is working, normal call is working, but video either do not load or drops the call.
      Worthy to mention that it works within LAN, but making video call from the outside - nope.

      My pfsense rule settings:
      WAN

      • Pass rule out + tcp/udp + ports (80, 443, 53, 22, TeamViewer)
      • Block rule in/out + any protocols + any ports

      LAN

      • Pass rule out + tcp/udp + ports (80, 443, 53, 22, TeamViewer)
      • Block rule in/out + any protocols + any ports

      WiFi

      • Pass rule out + tcp/udp + ports (80, 443, 53, 22, TeamViewer)
      • Block rule in/out + any protocols + any ports

      Tried already with enabling UPnP along with other tips I found on the forums which are kind of old but nothing helped at all.

      Any ideas how to make Skype work with video except enabling all ports it uses - which is like giving up on firewall?
