      Aha.  It sounds like it is doing NAT for some reason.  If you go to firewall => NAT => Outbound, what do you see?

        The option "Automatic outbound NAT rule generation (IPsec passthrough)" is selected.

            I did it and lost internet connectivity from the LAN and the OTP1 still the same.
            I selected the "Automatic outbound NAT rule generation (IPsec passthrough)" back.

                      Hey Dan, I just wanted to let you know that with version "2.0-BETA3" the Transparent Mode (bridge) is working. I notice one issue on the server in OPT1, if I restart it can't get out to the internet 'till I "repair" the network connection.

                      By repair I mean, in Windows going to Network Connections right clicking on the connection and selecting the option to repair.

                      Thanks for all your help

                        glad it is working.  if this server has a static IP what you are describing is odd.  be interesting to run a packet trace on the OPT1 interface after booting the server and then doing the repair.

                          Hi, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, I was not able to reproduce the error to run a packet capture - I'll make sure to run capture it if it ever happens again.

                          Thank you again for all your help!
