Aaaaaaand now I’m late to reading your response hehehehehehe. Actually I disabled my rules now, and have your suggestions up.
The only difference is that mac access. I was under the assumption that the most common way to access was via ip, and not the mac. But I see why everyone keeps say mac this and mac that. Is because you use the mac address. hehe
Another is (I guess obvious since you have a network background), your rules have made my router now have almost 0 cpu utilization. That’s a plus.
Edit:
You know, with these new rules, I found something weird on my network, check this:
DropAllElse input: in:bridge out:(unknown 0), src-mac 7c:5c:f8:9f:d1:b6, proto UDP, 192.168.88.250:55626->255.255.255.255:20561, len 50
The Drop All Else rule was filing up like crazy, decided to log it and found this. Sometimes the length changes to 150 or 250, but the majority is 50. And is coming from my laptop. I closed all browsers and stuff, and its still showing. I wonder what the heck is doing that traffic.

Used wireshark and found this
I wonder what’s wrong with the dhcp???
