Scheduled block rule does not seem to block existing/established connections

[sultanofswing]

I have a scheduled block rule to block my appleTVs after midnight. However existing streams keep on playing beyond this time.

How do i get the traffic to stop immediately?

Thank you

you need to kill the state

@kiokoman Is there a way to do this in GUI? I am on a NetGateSG-3100

Looks like missing functionality.

@sultanofswing It's under:

Diagnostics -> States -> Reset States, then click the "Reset the firewall state table" box and finally click the "Reset" button.

Don't use schedules on block rules. Use schedules on pass rules.

The system has no way to kill existing states that are not passed with a scheduled rule. If a scheduled pass rule results in a created state, that rule number is added to the state. When they schedule expires the system can then kill the created states.

Pass the traffic using a schedule for when you want it to work
Block all matching traffic. A schedule doesn't matter here because this rule will only be hit what the scheduled pass rule doesn't match.

Be sure this box isn't checked in System > Advanced, Miscellaneous:
