        @snellie1972 What you mean by "Netflix Alias" ?

            Take a screenshot of the rule and drag it into the message window.

            You'll have issues trying to route stuff as they host stuff with various CDN providers.

                  First thing I can see with your screenshot is that on your LAN interface, and assuming with only 1 defined gateway in System -> Routing, you don't need to set a gateway on your LAN rules to pass traffic. There's probably some special cases where you would set a gateway, but I'm not familiar with those. Most likely when you also have a VPN provider as an optional WAN path, I'm guessing.

                  Also, what is this Netflix device you're using? If it's a stand-alone streaming box or smart TV, you could make settings in pfsense for that specific device to NOT use the VPN for internet access whatsoever.

                        Hi Jeff ,

                        It's a strange issue the modem that i use is bridged for the bridge the modem had the ip adres 192.168.1.1 after the modem is bridged i have setup the pfsense with ip 192.168.1.1/24
                        Now i tried to set the ip adres off the pfsense to 192.168.1.222/24 and now the rules works and Netflix is ok by the looks of it

                        so i think the old ip was still active in the modem

                        Thanks for now for your feedback 👍
