Hi

 

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.

 

From the cli on the router I can see the following firewall rules:

 

iptables -L PAUSE

Chain PAUSE (1 references)

target     prot opt source               destination         

ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             10.123.234.1        

ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere             match-set circleservers dst

DROP       all  --  anywhere             anywhere             MAC B4:AE:2B:AE:CE:82

DROP       udp  --  anywhere             anywhere             MAC B4:AE:2B:AE:CE:82 udp spt:19132

 

Why is the sourceport 19132 defined in the UDP-rule, couldnt it just block all UDP-traffic?

 

Running firmware: 2.3.1.48
