          CLOSED:SYN_SENT

          That just means the syn was sent, but not reply was received.. I can send a syn anywhere, but if they don't answer the state will never be opened..

          Sniff on your outbound traffic when you try and make a connection - you see the syn go out, do you ever see a syn,ack back? from closeds:syn_sent that would be a no..

          example... I try and open connect to say 1.1.1.1 on port 666..

          closedsyn.jpg

          So pfsense sent the syn trying to connect to 1.1.1.1 on port 666.. But no answer.. So the states are closed:syn_sent

          Here is sniff showing syns being sent - but nothing coming back.

          Also vs posting some ascii art, how about a screenshot of what your trying show.. Are those suppose to be your wan rules? Show them in a simple screenshot.. .So much easier to decipher

          If those are you wan rules - they have nothing to do with talking to some website.. Those would only be port forwards to something inside your network or allowing traffic direct to pfsense wan IP, or allowing something through to a routed public network, etc. I assume its your wan because you look to have bogon on there..
