      I am wondering if anyone else seems to be having issues with this. If I specify an IP in my firewall rules on a LAN interface to use a different gateway than the default, I have to reboot the firewall before it will take affect. It is weird as it doesn't seem to apply all things, but when I make the change it doesn't seem to take affect until I reboot the firewall. I am specifically noticing this on non-standard ports of 8080 for speedtest, but not on http(s) traffic. I also am setting it as the primary most rule (top of the list) which seems to have zero change in it until reboot.

        There are a couple things that could lead to this:

        1. The ruleset isn't actually reloading fully -- Check Status > Filter Reload, trigger a reload, check for errors there and in the logs.

        2. Client is re-using an existing state, so either closing/reopening the browser or resetting the firewall states would be sufficient.

          @jimp It's really weird. I just swapped from one gateway in the firewall rule to another and things were non-functional until a reboot to the firewall. After that, I was able to connect through the correct gateway and things were working correctly. I had done the above on the state purge and no rules turned errors on reload, but no avail on working until reboot.

          EDIT: Just tried it again on a different interface and different gateway and same thing. Only thing I am changing is the below.
