      Running pfSense 2.5.0.

      I've connected my XBox One X to my default LAN network while I'm waiting for a smart-switch to arrive and have it on a separate VLAN. In the meantime, miniupnp is configured to only allow UPnP requests from this XBox:

      When I start eg. GTA V, the firewall log gets spammed with entries like this:

      Why is the XBox trying to connect to other non-existing private networks from my LAN on port 500 UDP? The same applies when starting up CoD Warzone.

      Other than that, miniupnp only port-forwards port 3074 UDP, no matter what multiplayer game I try:

      Outbound static mapping has also been added, but enabled or disabled makes no difference:

      The games play nicely though and the same with voice-chat. Reporting NAT as open as well on the XBox.

      Anyone care to explain what's going on? Does the config look alright?

      Thanks.
