      How to allow for broadcast vpn-users (pptp) on ports 137,138,139. At the moment, the traffic between the local network and the VPN is blocked: @ 1 block drop in log all label "Default deny rule".
      A little about the structure of the network:
      domain AD, PFSense2 with VPN service (PPTP), connect it to a remote computer (they wound up in a domain), but there are problems with the use of GP and connection to this PC. The problem exists on a remote PC, maybe, due to blockage of broadcast traffic on ports 137-139.
      How to solve the problem? How to allow the passage of PFsense broadcasts?

        Broadcast traffic has no relevance to domain functionality. More likely you aren't assigning proper DNS servers that know about AD to the client. You can't pass broadcasts to a PPTP client, and you have no need to do so.
