Title: Outbound connections blocked by Default deny rule
Post by: JohnnyBeee on August 09, 2018, 08:40:21 am
I checked my firewall log and noticed the occasional entry for blocked connections from devices on my LAN to the internet or even to my DMZ due to the "Default deny rule".
Examples:
   lan   Aug 9 07:34:55   192.168.1.oo:23916   104.95.229.140:443   tcp   Default deny rule
   lan   Aug 9 07:17:23   192.168.1.nn:57579   52.85.221.90:80   tcp   Default deny rule
   lan   Aug 9 05:53:22   192.168.1.nn:52329   192.168.3.xx:80   tcp   Default deny rule

I checked the connection from the LAN device 192.168.1.nn to the DMZ (192.168.3.xx:80) and it worked.
How can this default rule apply to those connections and not to all my connections?
Where can we check these default rules and possibly change them?

When the connections operate outside of the state tracking plausibility bounds they will be terminated by the default rule. It can happen with loops, excessive retransmissions or asymmetric traffic.

You can turn off state tracking if this is relevant or inspect the involved networks / devices for network setup issues.

Thank you.

How do I turn off state tracking?

In the pass rule that is supposed to pass your traffic go to advanced settings, change state tracking to "none".
