      Hi,
      My pfsense box has four interfaces:
      WAN - Obvious
      NAS - Interface with direct connection to NAS
      WIFI - Which connects to an AP for trusted clients
      BADWIFI - Which connects to an untrusted AP for services such as UPNP for consoles and work computers etc

      I want to be able to use DLNA clients on the Wifi to access the NAS. I've setup IGMP proxy:
      NAS upstream 192.168.1.2/32 nas_igmp
      WIFI downstream 192.168.2.0/25 wifi_igmp

      I also have firewall rules on the wifi interface for:
      IPV4, any source, any destination, any port

      On the NAS interface if have a firewall rule for:
      IPV4, any source, any destination, any port.

      IP options are enabled in both firewall rules...

      Yet my clients on the WIFI network cannot find the NAS for DLNA (for example via VLC).

      What am i doing wrong please?

      Thanks

        Getting that to work with igmpproxy can be frustrating at best.

        Try using pimd instead. For things like DNLA discovery that often 'just works' with the default values.

          @stephenw10 Thanks. I've installed PIMD.

          Under general i've got interfaces set to bind to none. On the interfaces tab, I've added the two interfaces, set them to always bind. Is there anything else to it?

            In some situations that's all that is required. I have done exactly that on a system with a 'Smart' TV DNLA client and a NAS on different VLANs and it connected immediately.
