Your rules block out multicasts / unicasts. That’s why firefly’s share can’t be seen by any client then. 😉

What fizze said. You need to allow traffic to/from 224.0.0.0/4, that’s the multicast network.

Or you can slim it down to just 224.0.0.251, as thats the only multicast address mdns uses, but you’ll run into problem later with other multicast apps unless you unfirewall the whole class d range now.
