Netgate 1100 vs 6100 TV apps not loading

Networking & Firewalls

Hi there,

I just got my 1100 replacement, a 6100. Interestingly, using the same configuration, when loading some apps in the TV, live streaming is not working and it takes almost a minute to load the app. This does not happen for all apps, only in 2, one of them DAZN and the other a local TV one.

I did check both routers and the configuration on pfsense is exactly the same, or at least, I did not find any option that has been configured different. Obviously there are more phisical ports but the configuration for the vnet of the TV such DNS, dchp and other stuff are the same. Basically if I connect the 1100 again, these apps are loading without any issue.

Not sure, what to check. BlockerNg, has been disabled for testing in both and in the monitoring I see different connections from the TV to different ips for different ports. They change every time I run the app and even allowing them all did not help. In the 1100 most of the connections in the monitoring logs of the fw appear to be ipv6 connections. It is strange cause on both ipv6 is disabled.

Any ideas what could I check?

Thanks!

That is odd, are you sure you fully disable IPV6? Check under the interface setting ā€œIPv6 Configuration Typeā€ and make sure itā€™s set to none.

Hi,

thanks for the reply. I was totally confused about the logs. IPv6 was disabled everywhere so I donĀ“t know yet where are these IPv6 entries coming from. In any case, I thought the fw rules were correctly configured but just rethinking i did just allow tvĀ“s ip to go outside and misteriously it works.

All rules are pretty similar but with different IP ranges. in the 6100 I did separate a bit more each network so maybe it is blocking in in some way. I will need to work on this to allow the traffic while protecting it.

Thanks for your help in any case.
