      I ahve two firewalls i am having troubles with., the rule is from my ddns address--to wan address--any any allow. on both of these firewalls the traffic shows as my ip getting blocked./ When i vpn into the network and then go intot he internal network and then manually input my ip(which is the enact same as what the ddns entry resolves to) the direct p rule works..but ddns is not working. one fo the firewlals is 2.6 CE and the other is a 7100-1u running 23.01. I ahve two more firewalls that are working jsut rfine with the exact same entries. any ideas?

        @hescominsoon It does resolve every 5 minutes by default, so there could be a delay depending on when it changes. If you use Diagnostics/DNS Lookup does it resolve as expected?

        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.
