Pfsense seems to block connection to specific game servers.
-
Does this game need UPnP or any specific rules inbound on WAN? Are there correlating blocks inbound on WAN when you're trying to start the game?
I have tried to use the second method listed in the link in my first post, and when i tried to packet capture on the lan (if this is what you mean) it was blank.
-
while that packet capture gives us some ips and ports being used - its kind of useless to be honest.. DOWNLOAD the capture, post that - so we can see some details of what is going on. From that capture your 192.168.1.4 is your xbox?
I would take it this is the network your saying you can not talk too?
NetRange: 192.81.240.0 - 192.81.247.255
CIDR: 192.81.240.0/21
OrgName: TAKE-TWO INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE, INC.Clearly there is something going on – but without the actual download of the capture is very difficult to say what..
As to dd-wrt being competitive with pfsense? Ummm no not really - while they are firewall/router software, dd-wrt is specific hardware software for off the shelf soho devices - pfsense would not run on 99% of the hardware that dd-wrt runs on.. Maybe even all of it - but I do think there is a x86 port.. So maybe that could run on the same hardware ;)
I don't think anyone is going to have issues with talking about dd-wrt in trying to fix your issue ;)
-
I kind of figured people would assume ddwrt was the problem, so I am glad I did the test removing it as the middleman. As for the .cap file, this forum only allows "Allowed file types: txt, jpg, gif, png, xls." I suppose i could change the extension to a .txt and the downloader could change it back. If that does not work, Ill upload it to a hosting website like mediafire or alike.
This is a .cap file, just remove the .txt I added on to the end.

Running any packages, like snort?
-
I have two packages, HVAP antivirus and Squid caching. I ran a test where I disabled HVAP antivirus, however, I did not disable Squid caching.
-
Squid can easily break things. Often hurts more than it helps.
-
^ agreed, I don't see the need of proxy in home setup. Going to cause you more problems than any sort of advantage, etc.
Clearly you have a issue with squid and what your trying to do
-
Alright, ill disable that and try it.
-
Yup, that is what did it. I disabled squid and it works now. I do find it strange that it is the only game that has issues. I would enjoy the caching service, but the internet here is above average. Thank you all so much for the help. I really appreciate it and am so, so happy I do not have to ditch pfsense, it is much too awesome to leave behind over one game.
-
Squid often breaks lots of stuff - Not just games.
Glad you figured it out.

I deal with proxy all the time, and for a couple of years that is all I did support a global user base web content filtering, 15k plus users - and I can tell you proxies break shit ;) hehehe
