      Hello,

      I noticed that since I added more and more interfaces to my pfsense, the view on the Firewall rules page changed. I assume this is caused when a certain amount of interfaces exists.

      view before:

      Is there any easy way to get the other view back even with a lot of interfaces?

      Thanks

        There's no way to force that, no. How many interfaces do you have?

            It's actually triggered by the total number of characters in the tab names, so the interface names on that page. I believe it's 256.

            You could manually edit the file to force it but it would be overwritten:

              @stephenw10 Thanks for the Answer. I just changed this line and it worked. When will this overwritten? on Reboot or on Upgrade?

              Thanks

                  30 interfaces on a router? Ouch!!!
                  Why so many?

                  PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
                  i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
                  UniFi AC-Lite access point

                  I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

                    Not uncommon if you have VLANs, for example, for each tennant in a building.
