      From what I read on this forum many people are complaining that L7 blocks nothing.

      On my system all traffic (not vpn though) are blocked.

      I added an all pass Lan rule (tcp/udp) and selected the container under advanced options. The container is set to block torrent traffic. The moment I add this rule all is blocked.

      Many other posts report this to work so I'm suspecting something wrong on my side.

      I'm running pf 2.01

      It'd be great if I could get this working.

            Ok it seems that you've successfully created a container.

            However, you still need to add an all pass rule to the firewall - under advanced - specify your L7 container.

            I've found that this halts all traffic.

            Strange - this must be a bug I think.
