<![CDATA[Need help with my firewall settings?]]>I have pfsense on a computer as my firewall and have found that lately I can't get to VUDU to watch my movies through it.

Before the upgrade to 2.7.0 I used to be able to watch just fine. Then (still before the upgrade) I had to turn on my VPN to get to VUDU.

Even after the upgrade, this was still the case.

Now, I can't login through any of my ROKU devices OR my Visio TV apps.

My computer gets to it just fine with or without the VPN on.

I just tried my phone and it will ONLY connect if it's NOT going through my local network but works on the cell network with or without the VPN on.

I DO have pfBlockerNG installed but, I'm only using it currently for an IP Alaise to get to some websites that don't like the VPN.
I had tried adding VUDU to it and then deleted it's entry in the Alaise since, it didn't help either way.

I'm sure it's something simple and stupid that I am missing because I haven't found it yet.

With the VPN turned OFF, I can't even get to the login screen. With the VPN turned ON, I do get to the login screen and can enter my login however, it says that "wrong username / password." I called VUDU last night AFTER changing my password on from my computer and they confirmed that my account is just fine.
They started a tech support ticket to see if they can find anything on their side.
BUT, the ONLY connection in the issue I can see is my pfsense firewall! And why can my computer get to it just fine through it but NO OTHER DEVICES on my network?????

Any ideas or suggestions?????

No, I'm not using the pfb_dnsbl right now.

I haven't tried to turn off pfblocker yet so, unknown right now.

The only thing I know of that I am using it for is the ip alias to try and bypass the VPN for certain sites.

Do you think it might help if I disable it?

If you disable pfBlocker what happens? Are you using DNSBL?
