Hello all I am extremity new here and thanks for taking the time to read over my issue and here is some background info on myself and the issue I am having.
I do work on Technology and am still trying to find my nitch in the job sector as I learned Networking/CISCO, Windows Desktop, and Windows Server; getting around usually is not a issue. But since moving off psSense it’s been a rocky road for my home network as I like to run custom gear and not off the self consumer stuff.
I recently made the decision to dump pfSense as it was giving me headaches every time it updated and it started to block my computers running anything Xbox or Xbox Live related thus my change to Opnsense as it was excellent fork to switch to given pfSense's over commercialization of the OS/Source code.
On that subject I am going to list things I have used before to give everyone a idea where I am at; some I uses while they were young distributions others were more mature.

My big question is is there a way to go into the Firewall/Packet filter to allow the game consoles and PC's to get to XBOX Live without breaking everything else or causing a big security hole. I do have UPNP; but it is used sparingly on the game systems only.
My previous setup had a static port for Xbox and static address, so the packet filter and NAT did not effect the Xbox One traffic; but it would continue to block bad inbound traffic. UPNP was Deny unless static IP was used. My PC was never affected by pfSense on Xbox Live. More then likely Opnsense blocks something that was not blocked before.
I did run tests on Opnsense with only UPNP on\static IP only; but my NAT/Network on both XBOX Live on PC and XBOX still give Strict/Blocked.
Tried some firewall rules and NAT rules like my old build; but no luck on that end. Got Screenshots of both my PC and XBOX One.
