Blocking Fortnite

Question

Hi
&nbsp;
I have tried to block an ongoing Fortnite session with Disney meetcircle on my Orbi RBK50 Setup. The gameplay just goes on so i suspects something wrong in the pause rules.
&nbsp;
From the cli on the router I can see the following firewall rules:
&nbsp;
iptables -L PAUSE
Chain PAUSE (1 references)
target &nbsp; &nbsp; prot opt source &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; destination&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
ACCEPT &nbsp; &nbsp; all&nbsp; --&nbsp; anywhere &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 10.123.234.1 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
ACCEPT &nbsp; &nbsp; all&nbsp; --&nbsp; anywhere &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; anywhere &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; match-set circleservers dst
DROP &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; all&nbsp; --&nbsp; anywhere &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; anywhere &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; MAC B4:AE:2B:AE:CE:82
DROP &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; udp&nbsp; --&nbsp; anywhere &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; anywhere &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; MAC B4:AE:2B:AE:CE:82 udp spt:19132
&nbsp;
Why is the sourceport 19132 defined in the UDP-rule, couldnt it just block all UDP-traffic?
&nbsp;
Running firmware: 2.3.1.48

I would post about this in the Circle forum:

Hi Retired_Member, our latest update from engineering is that this is currently a limitation on the feature and may take a while to be resolved. They will continue to work&nbsp;with the Circle team.
