*Allow* IOS Facetime/iMessage Home Network

SLIMaxPower

I can't get Facetime/iMessage working on the internal network or public.

I have made 2 Aliases for IOS Ports. UDP Ports 16384:16387 16393:16402 3478:2497 TCP 5223

I have made several Firewall changes.

Any help would be appreciated to get it working.

started when you did this:

I have made several Firewall changes.

So, undo the latter and your good.

FaceTime/iMessages ("bleu SMS") come in and go out just fine when my iDevice is connected to an AP, that is connected to the LAN of pfSEnse (also when I connect to my (wifi) Portal Interface).
Btw: your AP(s) are set up correctly ?

Do not put IOT devices behind restrictive firewall rules. It doesn't make sense.
