So, I have found this to be absurd. I created a separate LAN for my IoT devices. I have tried with firewall on and off in pfsense (pfblockerng and snort). I have tried it going strait to WAN through the router. And I've tried a couple other things.
The following apps are the ones with issues that are mainly used:
Xfinity Beta
Hulu
Netflix
CW
Now, with this same network setup, getting Netflix works with my Vizio TVs (M50-C1 and P50-Cx). Also Pluto TV, among other apps. Vizio's Hulu is broken on the older M50s.
But, this shows that other devices do not have the issue that roku is with PFSense, and is the primary reason I'm considering moving to an android TV Box, possibly the Nvidia Shield Pro, moving forward.
The setup currently used is not being routed through a VPN nor is it bypassing a VPN setup for other devices (entirely different LAN).
