[SOLVED]Getting kicked out from playing Overwatch

Bob.Dig · Oct 6, 2019, 7:55 PM

So first thinks first, I am a network-noob, who replaced his old home-router with pfSense. I am on pfBlockerNG-devel net 2.2.5_25

Lately I get kicked out from playing Overwatch from time to time, didn't know why. Blizzard now even wants to punish me for leaving matches to often to early...
So last time I quickly took a look at the Firewalllog and after googling the IPs there is one from Blizzard.

I then looked at the pfblockerlog and found it again.

pfB_Europe looks like geoblock to me, which I had enabled because I am also running a server at home I want to protect. So if this blocking is the reason for getting kicked out... I thought geoblocking is only for incoming connections?

Or am I wrong? I really want to play this game.

TIA Bob

@Bob-Dig How your pfBlocker configured?
You can configure only Incoming or only Outgoing blocking
Or you can use "Alias Native" and put it anywhere in your firewall rules

GeoIP is Deny Inbound, the rest at defaults.

Are you denying inbound on your LAN interfaces in pfBlocker.

Should be something like this:-

Hmmm post a screenshot of your firewall rules.

@NogBadTheBad Always get a message my post would be spam...

Now it works: Enough?

Anything on your LAN ?

Also you can get the rule number by holding the mouse over the red X.

Umm just noticed in the first screenshot it says default deny rule.

I don't think this is a pfBlocker issue.

Asymetric routing perhaps.

Bob.Dig · Oct 3, 2019, 2:12 PM

@NogBadTheBad Looked at the IDs and couldn't find one.
What is Asymetric routing?

NogBadTheBad · Oct 3, 2019, 2:14 PM

Packets flowing from a source to a destination in one path and takes a different path when it returns.

It's the default deny that's hidden.

Bob.Dig · Oct 3, 2019, 2:21 PM

@NogBadTheBad So I am reading this but as a noob i have no clue.
Any ideas what I can do about it?
I also wondered about default deny rule IPv4, have none, but you explained it.
Damn I am also on the wrong sub-forum. Does it belong to Home / pfSense Software / Firewallin ?

If you disable pfBlocker does it still do it ?

Did it happen after the NordVPN configuration ?

Also why all the pfBlocker Geo blocks on the WAN interface traffic is denied by default?

The disconnect are random so not easy to test.

No, has nothing to do with nord, that is used with a different Host.

It is the default behavior and works fine I think.

I bet everything is going out your NordVPN connection.

Does this print out your WAN IP address or a NordVPN address ?

@NogBadTheBad No, had it only enabled in Firefox, but after disabling it is still get this messages here. It is my regular ISP IP-address. I also use that for gaming, no VPN there.

I am not a total noob, just not a network professional.

No it's not you've enabled them here and there is no need to unless your blocking a country in the region, are you telling me you have blocked something in Antartica

I only use it to block China, etc ... from hitting my sftp server.

BTW you've not removed your IP from the bottom of the screenshot .
