      Hi,

      I've moved to using a pfSense router. I was previously running DHCP and DNS on a box on my network, with a modem / router doing routing.

      Been trying to setup 4 traffic classes.

      • VoIP
      • Streaming
      • Default
      • Background Transfers

      I used the pfSense Wizard to create the basic queues and firewall rules, then manually create the additional queues (Streaming and Background).

      Background is limited to a single IP on the network. Streaming is assigned to an alias, tied to a bunch of IP addresses (Chromecast(s) / TV).

      When looking at the queues I get traffic in the default queue and VoIP, but I never get anything in the Streaming or Background queues. My assumption is there is an issue with the floating firewall rules.

      Advice?

      Thanks
