Transparent Firewall not passing traffic
-
I built a transparent firewall to filter my works traffic. It work fine in all my test scenarios but every time I deploy it none of the traffic passes.
Here's the route of the traffic.
Multiple vLans come into switch
vLans come out through a trunk
trunk is connected to pfsense transparent firewall
pfsesne is connected to a transparent proxy
proxy is connected to the firewall
the firewall routes the traffic back the way it came to the switch and out the WANeverything works fine when pfsense is out of the loop. When I add it all access to the net stops.
Things I have tried:
Delete all rules and just have allow all on all if
Disable firewall -
Is there a way to what rule made the block in the firewall log?

Click on the red X that you see under the Act column..

That's not helpful 100% of the time. I don't know if that's the case in his scenario though.

Those are PASS IGMP packets. There is nothing blocked on the screenshot you are showing. Known bug and completely OT here.

I wasn't referring to that part. I meant that clicking act section didn't actually say which rule it was. I've had that happen for some default block rules, especially concerning IPv6.

Is there a way to disable the default block rules in the firewall? I have added allow all rules on all my interfaces but traffic is still being blocked.

That's not your problem. The rules are parsed top-down. The default deny rule is hidden at the bottom. Any pass rules you add will be processed before the default deny rule. Maybe if you go into more detail about the devices, their interfaces and their network settings, this could be solved.
