That is what i was going for. All other devices seem to have no issue getting the advertised speed of the provider EXCEPT the xbox. the only reason i included that snippet was those were the only rules that were having an effect on the speed. if i comment out the block rule, everything works fine for the xbox. that is how I narowed it down to dnscrypt/unbound being the culprit.
I am also running a dhcp server on the firewall. I am trying to accomplish what you mention in the quote snippet I included above.
Could you show me your snippet and how you accomplished this? I was thinking that by applying the block rule to every device ! $xbox would work around the problem.
