Please check my Firewall:Rules and tell me if they are ok.
-
I've not used pfsense before, but after having annoying issues with my DGL4100 and BEFSR41v5 I decided to try out Pfsense.
However, configuring the ports on this router is very different from anything I've worked with yet. I'm simply trying to get the feel of the router now, so I'm not ready to get into 'traffic shaping' just yet. First I need to make sure my Firewall Pass-through rules are configured properly. Would one or more of you pfsense savvy individuals be able to help me?WAN, dynamic, LAN is static(20.55.77.0/24[fake]). As far as the games, it may or may not be working. From Portland to Sea/Tac(280ml) is averaging 16ms playing CSS, without jitter or hanging(with NAT:Portforward). Playing 'Project Reality'(BF2 mod) yields a 12ms drop over using the DGL4100 connected PDX to Chicago for 72ms average play latency. However, this was done without creating a NAT:Portforward for BF2/PR.87. NAT:Aliases really helped when creating Firewall:Rules and NAT:Portforward for gaming ports. Never seen that before on any of my old Firewall appliances. Makes writing rules much easier!
Internet and games are running smooth, but streaming video keeps hanging/buffering, even when only one of three PC's on the LAN are on. Youtube, Liveleak, anything streaming video, all PC's on the network are having this issue with hanging and constant buffering. I looked for the RTSP and other stream related ports via SpeedGuides and created a rules for them to pass-through, but I must have not wrote the rule correctly, because I keep getting hanging and buffering. But if I did not write the rules correctly, I would think I would have issues with DNS & HTTP too. I wrote the three rules exactly the same starting with DNS.
Thanks
MarkI'll post some logs in a little bit-
