      Hi,

      I have a problem with updating pfsense. Everything works fine on version 2.4.X
      I have a configured multiwan (if wan1 down, wan2 take over).
      all this works well on version 2.5.0

      But

      I have LAN rules which says this ip address goes through this gateway (wan1).
      Now if WAN1 is down, Wan2 takes over while my LAN rule says to always go through the gateway of WAN1.

      exemple :

      Operation with 2.4.X:
      WAN1 down, my LAN rule says that this ip address must go through WAN1 so I no longer have an internet connection, which makes sense.

      After the 2.5.0 update:
      WAN1 down, WAN2 takes over while I say in my rules that it must only go through WAN. So I have my internet connection with WAN2 which doesn't make sense.
      Thank you.

        @larsn-0 Check System, Advanced, Miscellaneous.

        This should only be happening if "Skip rules when gateway is down" is ticked, maybe that somehow got enabled on upgrade?

        If not then it looks like a bug.

        If so then a short term fix would be to add a block rule underneath that rule to deny connectivity for that IP address, it will only ever be used if the rule above it does not match/is missing.
