      Hi there,

      Before going deep in technical details here is a summary of the config and of the issue

      Config:
      Many pfsense boxes connected to one fortigate throuth ipsec in full mesh mode, using iBGP.

      Issue
      After upgrading pfsense from 2.7.2 to 2.8.0, pfsense does not want to consider iBGP routes anymore from Fortigate: pfsnese BGP table is correct but kernel does not want to use it and uses default routes.
      However between pfsense and another pfsense no issue, iBGP still works as usual. Issue is only with Fortigate with pfsense 2.8.0.

      Investigations and result
      Of course I googled a lot, used many AI (may be not enough) but till now I did not fix it

      Current workaround:
      Revert back in 2.7.2

      May be the solution is obvious and I dig too much ....
      If needed I can give all technical details about this issue.

      Thanks

        @div444 i'm finding the same - did you find a solution or did reverting fix it?

        Hoping there is a patch fix or something to get it working! Rather not rollback if i can avoid it
