      @calipilot Maybe this?

      https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11805

      Yep, it’s the same issue like the link I’ve posted.

        Same for me. I made and Snaphsot on ESXi and upgraded to 2.6.0-dev. That solved the problem for now. When a hotfix is released for 2.5.1, I will roll back.

            One point is not really clear to me, is this only an issue if I use gateway groups?

              Nope, in my case, we don't have gateway groups.

                  I confirm the same issue here.
                  I have multi WAN setup, after the upgrade all NAT rules ceased to work.
                  I advised a friend not to upgrade, he already did, but isn't suffering from the issue.
                  It seems to be an issue with multi WAN configurations.

                  I had to roll back to previous version.

                      @imanrnm unfortunately, there is no easy way. You have to download the older version and install it. You should also have a backup of your configuration to restore from.
                      I can see another post on your profile saying you've upgraded to 2.6.0, which is still in development and not recommended for production use.

                        @0x00fe-0 Thank you for reply.
                        yeah i updated to 2.6.0 and the problem is gone but there is other problems!
                        for example my speed limiters aren't working now!

                        i have a veeam backup from 3 days ago before update to 2.5.1, i will try to restore that and see what happens.

                        all i know is that there is a real mess right now in my network because of a simple pfsense update and i will never again update my firewall right after they release it and will wait at least some days...

                          we downgrade to 2.5.0, not perfect because of the openssl vulnerability.
                          https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html

                          And no note in the known issues:

                            Thanks God I found this post . I was going crazy .
                            NAT is not broken but suddenly stop working in 2.5.1 .

                            I must apologize to my certbot server since I'm requesting SSL like there is not tomorrow , and of course, my reverse proxy isn't happy !!!

                            Any workaround ? not feeling to downgrade or go BETA

                            cheers ,

                              unfortunately there is no information about a 2.5.x / -px release.
                              First time in over 10 years pfSense we can't upgrade the system.

                                    No workaround or quick fix. See latest reply from Jim Pingle here: issue 11805
                                    The issue seems to be "in kernel" so bummer, we need to wait it out.

                                      2.6.0 snapshots are currently working correctly, and the fix was checked into RELENG_2_5_0. Whatever release happens next will behave correctly either way (e.g. a 2.6.0 release or a 2.5.x point or patch release).

                                        I have the same issue. We have nat rules on a multiwan configuration. Upgrading from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1 nat rules on wan1 works but those on wan2 are not working.

                                        we had to restore from backup. :(

                                          +1 here I have the same issue with multi-WAN ..

                                          I was going nuts why my vpn wasnt working anymore... out of options I googled if it was a issue with 2.5.1..

                                          well at least I can stop blaming myself :P
