      Hi all !
      I've installed pfSense, the last version 2.1.5 and all works fine.
      I have only one problem, as the screenshot shows.
      When I decide to block ping from the LAN subnet to PRV_SRV address (interface for servers) it continue the ping (don't break the ping as fortigate do).
      so I'm wondering the cause of that.

      Steps I did:
          1. stating ping the PRV_SRV address.
          2. create a rule to forbid ICMP packets from LAN subnet => PRV_SRV address interface.
          3. save changes .
          ( :'( the ping still running ….).

      Thanks.

        If you were running ping prior to adding the rule, you may need to stop pinging for a minute. Firewall rules only apply to new states, not existing ones. You could also try clearing all of your states.
