      My inbound rules (WAN to LAN) work perfectly, but I have a few outbound (?) rules that I've added which are seemingly ignored. I would like to allow all traffic from 192.168.1.4 (Nvidia Shield TV) to send/receive data on blocked ports that keep showing up in my logs, I used the Easy Rule option to add pass rules but they don't seem to be working. Also since there are a lot of ports that I'd like to unblock I decided to create an any rule for it, but it still doesn't seem to work. I have UPNP enabled and it works becauseother hosts use it, but the Shield doesn't seem to make us of it.

      Here's an example from the firewall logs which is blocked:
      Nov 28 14:31:20 LAN 192.168.1.4:56280   64.233.177.95:443 TCP:PA

      Here's a rule that I added (which is at the top of the LAN list):
      IPv4 TCP 192.168.1.4 * * * * none

      So can someone explain why this is still getting blocked, even after it has been applied and the rule is active?

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
