Signal App Ports - problem with receiving

[4o4rh]

I use Signal and can make calls with no and send text no problems.

The issue I have is, incoming calls and text will only update once I have in the app and do something. This doesn't occur if I am on the mobile network, only when i am behind the firewall.

I seem to be missing something in the firewall setup for Signal.

Nothing is needed to make such an app working.
Whatapp, Telegram, Signal, they all work the same.
pfSense, by default behaves as a classic ISP router : the default LAN firewall rule works, as it permits all outgoing connections.

I advise you to install https://signal.org/fr/download/, the PC version. Now, wire up your PC to the LAN of pfSense. This test will exclude Wifi usage and Wifi issues.
Run the app, on your PC, you should be reachable.
