A simple question

Hi folks!

Why if I set explicit rules to accept all traffic from any of my four interfaces the firewall is still denying connections? (I saw in the logs that the default rule continued to refuse some connections).

I have turned off the "webGUI anti-lockout" checkbox .

Thanks in advance.

Maybe your rule is wrong?
Can you post screenshots of your rules?

(The ordering of rules is very important).

Sure!

I have for interfaces(LAN,WAN,OPT1,OPT2) and in the four I have been set a rule like this at the bottom of the table. The rules that I previously configured only accepts traffic, they don't deny nothing at all.

But generally you don't notice anything blocked?
Besides the entries in the log?
This is probably because of this: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Logs_show_%22blocked%22_for_traffic_from_a_legitimate_connection,_why%3F

Thanks GruensFroeschli!!!

This seems to be the problem(or not, because there is no problem ;) )!!!

Thanks again.
