HAVP \ Wii \ Netflix
-
Currently I am using PFSense for my home network. I have SNORT, PFBlocker, and HAVP installed and have been very happy.
The problem I am having is with HAVP and streaming Netflix to a Wii. I can connect and browse movies, but if I try to play one the CPU usage on PFSense will spike to about 50% and after a while Netflix will report that it can not play the title.
I have tried disabling video stream scanning and adding the following to the whitelist (some are from the web and some are from packet captures I did)
*moviecontrol.netflix.com
*ec2-54-235-137-103.compute-1.amazonaws.com.https
*107-21-225-131.compute-1.amazonaws.com
*nflxvideo.net.httpI have RAM drive enabled and a lot of defaults as well.
I can play Netflix on standard PCs through web browsers, but not on the Wii. Any ideas?

You could try to have your Wii bypass the proxy and see if that works. I had a Roku that I used for Netflix and when I set the IP of the Roku to not be filtered, it worked much better.

I thought about that, however PFSense is sitting between my modem and router as a firewall and does not handle DHCP \ Traffic Shaping. I chose this because the router I am using has a really good QoS and I love the gui that shows real time usage.
I am going to table this for now. Getting ready to leave town for a while and there is no reason to worry about it until I can get at least one more WAN connection to handle the traffic anyway.
Thanks for the suggestion.
