Firewall: Blocked on Chrome but not on Edge
-
Hi everyone, I am new to pfsense. The problem is I have set up rules on my firewall to block certain websites. However, it only works on Chrome and not Edge. Also, I want to ask how do I block sites for specific group of IP addresses and put all those sites as an alias.
Thank you!

Make sure you clear your states (Diagnostics - States) after creating block rules. Existing states are not affected by new rules. If you access via Edge and it works and then you make your block rule, Edge will continue to work while new sessions (eg Chrome) will fail.
Also, I want to ask how do I block sites for specific group of IP addresses and put all those sites as an alias.
It's pretty much exactly as it sounds. You create an IP alias. Add your hosts to it. Create a firewall rule that blocks traffic with your alias as the Destination.
