      I'm so sorry if this is a common question or a know fix / setting
      I love the pfsense router very powerful but I'm having strange issues I can fix regardless of firewall settings

      My Sony TV I can't restive code to like twitch tv
      Sum games won't connect to servers
      Local teamspeak 3 server not acessable outside of my network
      Can't remember the rest but just sum connection fail to ever work but any other router it works fine I have unp turned on

      Is there sumink I'm Missing

      Lots I Wana do but need to start sumwhere

      I have 1 ppoe Internet in for now, will have 2 soon

        I can't parse that. Can you rephrase it?

        Local teamspeak 3 server not acessable outside of my network

        Do you have port forwards setup for it? Otherwise that would rely on UPnP as do some (badly coded IMO) games.

            Netflix doesn't require any config to connect. If that's failing it's something lower level like maybe an MTU issue or DNS failure.

              Or he has some vpn client setup and blocked, or using HE for ipv6 tunnel, etc.

              There is no where near enough info here to even begin to start to help you.

              If your having issues with port forwarding
              https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/nat/port-forward-troubleshooting.html

              If your having issues connecting to XYZ, where is it failing, does the fqdn resolve? Correctly? Do you see some sort of error? Are you using anything in pfsense that could be blocking? pfblocker, IPS, proxy? etc. etc.

                It's a fresh install and my pc has vpn but turned off due to issues I understand this info is limited but I have basic networking knowledge I will check dns as I may have default as the steamcahce, my pc is cloud flare as had huge dns errors for a while I tryed portforwarding on for all ports to my main pc to try rule out, more specifically satisfactory won't connect unless on net dumas WiFi router even after ports forwarded but I will start to trace issues wires hark and see if pfsense can sort it, big one is teamspeak server not accesable from out side me network with 9987 and 11011 33033 or what eles it was
                Trying to connect from out side and inside using external ip

                Thanks for a place to start was expecting a block or sumink setting in pfsense as 2 options on wan ppoe connection made big issues I do Wana end up with dmz and 3 networks 1 server has 1 wan 1, 1 server has wan 2 for port forwarding fixes, and my pc has both wan 1 and wan 2 for speed

                  I did this for a year or so :
                  "a teamspeak server running on some "server" device situated on a LAN - (mono) WAN is PPPOE"

                  It's a matter of one "UDP on 9987" NAT rule.

                  So it's a basic NAT rule and a click and done.

                  (and a TCP rule for 11011 and 33033 if needed).

                  WAN is PPPOE means : your WAN interface has your current "Internet IP"' assigned (is that so ?) so nothings else needs to be done.

                  Come again ?
                  (now that's a huge PC you have there)

                  No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                  Edit : and where are the logs ??

                    I assume he means his desktop PC is using cloudflare DNS.
