Thanks AMR, I will go through these steps and see what I get. I could have sworn that the instructions on the site said to put the block rules before anything else. I found some of the instructions very strange but tried to follow accordingly. Thanks again and I will update after trying these things.

Amr,

I want to thank you again for your help. Everything is now working as it should. It was indeed the order of firewall rules. I hadn't looked into that deeper because I was nearly certain I had tried it with the block rules disabled and got the same results but honestly I could have had something else tweaked wrong at the moment since I have been trying so many different configurations. Thank you again for finding the solution for me. I now feel much more confident in the software doing its job. Here is why I put it at the top even though it didn't seem right to me.

Indeed the documentation needs to be updated to make it clear that you need to allow traffic to the proxy before blocking everything else
