      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.

                UPDATE for: Jim Pingle

                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. :(

                      Think this was the fix.

                          since the kernel must be rebuild, no chance to fix this with the patch package.
                          We also wait for a new pfSense release since we have issues with this bug.

                            @infosamu-it since netgate hasn't released the build tools, not much we can do but wait for the next release AFAIK. 2.6.0 is an option but there are a few issues with that I know of

                            kernel panics #11839
                            counters 0/0 #11775
                            Also rate limiting seems broken as per another user. maybe related to #11775.

                            pfsense fun!

                              Any timeframe we can expect a fix to be released?
                              Neither downgrade nor development version seems a great choice.

                                I am also just a user who shares your pain, stuck on 2.5.1, any guesses will just be speculation at at this time.

                                      @vajonam This is not true netgate has released the right build tools. together with another user I was able build the new kernel and install and can confirm it fixes the problem. so we have to hurry up and wait for a p1 or some such release officially.

                                      For others interested.

                                        thank you for this really detailed documentation!

                                        Maybe you can help Netgate to build -p1? 😉

                                          After many months with 2.4.5 I finally decided to upgrade to 2.5.1 last weekend and now I'm really upset about not having read the release notes and seen this topic before.

                                          Fortunately, I had few NAT rules on the secondary links and I managed to resolve it relatively quickly, but I will have to hope that my main link does not stop.

                                          I am miles away from the server (which is physical), rollback to the previous version is unthinkable at the moment.

                                            @neo666 I have just updated my pfsense today to 2.6.0-devel and that solved the problem. And as you i am also upset that netgate can let this bug happen and not make an quick patch for 2.5.1. An other question i have is why is not the plus version of pfsense effected. Now i am forced to run devel version in production.
