      I'm seeing broadcast traffic on my LAN that is coming from another private network. I see both arp and ssdp traffic. I have  "Block private" checked on the WAN interface, but this traffic is still getting in. How can I block it?

      This is pfSense 1.2.3.

        Are you sure that is coming in through the firewall? If you are seeing ARP, then it's coming in at layer 2 somehow - either a switch or a bridge.
