      Hi,

      I made a mistake when adding a default rule to my firewall, where I modified the default gateway, away from system default to use a specified route.

      Anyway to change this back to default? via the command line?

        Have you tried resetting the interface through the "assign interface IP" on that particular interface?  It resets the webgui lockout rules.  That's the only easy way I know of to do it.

          I think I may have done the same thing.  Did you have any luck solving the issue?

            That's why I wrote this doc a long, long time ago:
