Odd web filter issue

pardigital
Hello all
I have recently began tackling the configuration of my firewall and have ran into a very strange issue.
Last night when testing the firewall as a gateway I could not communicate through the PlayStation Network on my ps4. The web filter seems to be blocking the connection to communications.playstation.net. There is a random string of numbers generated at the beginning of that domain. The blocked reason is "host not found"

I decided to turn the web filter off completely, but when I do so all network activity times out. Meaning I cant browse to web pages or anything at all. The same happens when I add the Ps4 to the transparent filter bypass. 

I don't know whats going on but I do know that when I turn off the web filter I get no logs about whats causing packets not to flow.

    You need a MASQ rule for non-proxy traffic to re-address between internal (non-internet routable) addresses and your WAN (internet routable) address.  That should correct the problem.


    Ok, ill add that and get back to you. 
    One question, why does enabling the web filter allow this translation to occur without a static route?
