      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

            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
