Need Help finding a missing port to open: Almost Done!
-
Had a fairly great experience setting up my first pfSense Firewall with pfBLocker, Snort, SurfShark VPN, and also of course setting opening up the minimum ports.
Everything is working great!!! But I need help finding one more port to open to cooperate with Verizon Fios and there is just no information out there unless one is trying to watch TV and fake news which I'm not. Getting the Verizon Fios G1300 into bridge mode is tricky but after a few restarts my pfSense got a public IP on WAN. Everything is working! But... Every 2 hours LAN loses internet but not the pfSense. pfSense never loses internet.
How do I fix it? Open up the default IPv4 Allow all rule for 1 second, apply, and disable again. The LAN now has internet for the next 2 hours. I'm not finished with this project for a friend except for this stable pattern of failure please help me find which port to open!!!
So far I have only opened up 443, 80, 53, and 1194 because all we need is browser here to work with the UN on addressing Cyber-Torture.com

uhm now I am very conflicted as to whether this is spam or a real problem

Mmm. Dammit akismet!

Ok, so figured it out... It was DNS port 53 requires TCP & UDP.
Without UDP the LAN would lose internet every 2 hours from Verizon... but now its fixxed!
