      Hi guys. A question. I don't know if this is the channel, if not, delete it. I have a latest version of pFsense in a lab that I have set up for testing. The thing is that I have many configurations. Firewall, ipsec vpn, ssl vpn, etc. and it works like a charm... but when I have restarted it for some reason it blocks all the connections to the WAN, it does so without losing the rest of the configurations, that is, it blocks. From the LAN I enter with some PC in range and simply by going into the WAN option everything is unblocked, that is, without touching anything else. I restart it again and the same thing happens. I only use the WAN for testing and not for console access. Is there some option that I am missing or is there a problem with the image that I have installed? Oh, nothing appears in the configuration logs. 🤔

        Hmm, how exactly are you testing here? From a WAN side client? Unclear what you're seeing that's blocked.

          Hello. For example, the ipsec connections work perfectly until I restart the VM with pfsense. Then the connections drop, if I try to enter through GUI via WAN by disabling the console it doesn't let me, WAN completely blocked, however it doesn't happen with the LAN interfaces. I have to enter through a bastion in the LAN network to Pfsense, I simply go to the WAN tab, I don't change anything. And the connections come back. It's very strange, that's why I can't detect the problem.

            What exactly are you disabling on the console? Disable pf?

            What firewall rules do you have on the WAN? Incoming connections are blocked on WAN by default.

            The WAN tab where? Which page? You don't save anything?
