        Yes that's the expected behaviour if you have state flushing set.

        That setting comes from a time when there was no alternative in pf. We are now looking at a better solution there, remove the states only for the gateway that went down. There's no ETA on that though.

                    Nope in 2.7.2 you can choose to kill states only on the gateway that is down:

                          @stephenw10 Can you comment on the functionallity listed here: https://www.netgate.com/blog/netgate-to-enhance-gateway-recovery-in-pfsense-plus-version-24.03 will this be available in a CE release at any point? I have an expensive backup link and states don't reset on failback so I end up needing to take a manual action to reset them on 2.7.2

                          Thanks for your help

                            No plans to add that to CE at this time.
