      Hello,

      Got a stupid question, but indeed I have no fresh ideas for troubleshooting.

      I have a pfSense box acting as PPTP server:

      LAN -> pfSense ->[WAN]->{Inet}<-PPTP clients.

      I created a rule at PPTP interface allowing all traffic from PPTP clients to LAN subnet. However, when trying to ping some host inside LAN, I get the following line in the firewall log:

      [blocked] NG1 aa.bb.cc.dd(PPTP client) ee.ff.gg.hh(LAN address)  ICMP

      "The rule that triggered this action is @415 block drop in log quick all label "Default block all just to be sure" "

      How to debug firewalling rules in general case? What are NG0, NG1, etc. interfaces? On which interface the traffic is blocked?

      Thanks in advance for any consideration,

      WBR,
      Igor

        the ngX interfaces are the PPTP tunnels. Each user has it's own interface when connected. Make sure you used protocol "any" in your pptp firewallrule instead of the default "tcp".
