      I have two APU2's running pfSense CE 2.5.2 and in Hybrid Outbound NAT mode, I cannot manually add outbound rules to either one. I click Add, I fill out all of the parameters, I click Save and it takes me back to the outbound NAT screen with no error messages and the rule is simply not there. Has anyone else experienced this?

        @swordforthelord I just pulled up a 2.5.2, added a rule for source=1.1.1.1/32 and saved it, and it shows under Mappings.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          I figured out the issue: a range of ports is specified using xxxx:xxxx rather than xxxx-xxxx. However, rather than showing a helpful error message, pfSense simply didn't create the rule.

            helpful error message,

            You mean like this

            If I try and create outbound hybrid nat with range like 3000-3100 I get that error..
