      @mrpushner said in PFSENSE randomely blocking ports....:

      so then how are the packets handled across subnets?

      Simple... firewall rules on the originating subnet (network) pointing to the other subnet. Or, in pfsense talk - Source = originating subnet, Destination = the other subnet you want to pass the traffic to.

        @akuma1x Hi, yes And I can see those plainly in the VPN setup...I just have a mental block from my old VPN days, when it was not easy to get sub nets to "talk" over VPN. Thanks.

          Mmm, it's OpenVPN it should just route between the ends like any other subnet.

          The only possible way I could see that doing anything is if you have NAT reflection enabled (on that rule or globally) and the printer in trying to hit port 587 on the public WAN IP.
          In that situation it would be reflected back to the mail server over the tunnel. But that would be a misconfiguration on the printer.
