      Hi Guys,
      Been trying to setup a rule to allow a specific IP on vlan20 to ping a windows box on vlan10.
      I've read that windows has its own firewalls rules to not allow ping, and i believe i have changed those settings (within win10 firewall).
      Still cant get it to ping so, i thought it must come down to my rules. Which i assume is correct as from pfsense ping test, changing source to IOT(vlan20) i cant ping the adress on CCTV (vlan10)

      As i have block rules to not allow traffic to each other, i thought this would be the correct rule to allow ping

      Am i even remotely close to allowing this?

      Cheers

        @sneakynuts Can you ping the Windows PC from something else on its subnet? I might try turning off the Windows firewall completely, temporarily.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          @sneakynuts if that rule is on your 192.168.20 interface, and nothing above it that blocks, or floating that blocks that would allow you to ping 10.2 from your 20.10 box sure.

          It would seem that it is being evaluated and triggered because see the 95 KiB there in the states column..

          Common issue is host firewall, can tell you for sure that windows firewall out of the box would not answer ping from something other than its own local network.

          Other common problem is what your pinging is not using pfsense as its gateway.

            Thanks to you both for responding.
            After looking at this some more last night, i went back to the windows box and re-read windows firewall re: pinging
            It seems i did not read correctly the 1st time, and (now) have made the correct changes to allow pings.

            Now with my rule on the .20 inteface, i can ping correctly! And all is working as it should!!

            Thank again
