        Yeah, the port range, from 80 to 82 :

        If the port range is needed he would be needing it, I guess.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          @gertjan I suppose we've been relegated to second-class citizen status - this won't be the first time that an open source project leaves non-paying users behind. Can't say I'm surprised.

          OTOH, this has made me look at alternatives to pfSense more closely, which is always a nice idea - one tends to default to familiar paths for new installations (I know I have done that, over the past 12 or so years deploying open source firewalls).

            1a) does it have a WAN IP ? Is it a valid IP ? Does it have a gateway ? Are these addresses known / seen before.

            Yes to all 4 questions.

            Step 2 to 11 : sending a ping to some remote network, knowing there is no 'route' only proves there is no route.

            It proves the router/firewall isn't routing traffic, which is different than not having a route. The default route was there... and the firewall itself was able to get to the internet... but for some reason, PFsense wasn't routing internal traffic to the internet.

            Restarting DNS doesn't has anything to do with routes.

            Never said it did. Once the ping to google.com failed, I bounced the DNS service just in case the issue was DNS related vs routing, which has happened before. After that, a failed ping to 8.8.8.8 proved I wasn't able to hit the internet and likely a routing issue of some kind.

            It's hard to say what happened in your case, but it could be something like this :

            Updating pfsense to 2.5.0 needs a kernel update. To do this, it needs to reboot to load the new kernel. The reboot will take you pfSense WAN NIC down for a moment. The mdoem sees this, and act upon that event, like : a upstream re negotiation.

            Anything's possible I suppose. Although, the 2.4.5-p1 -> 2.5.0 upgrade went without issue... it was he 2.5.0 ->2.5.1 that gave me grief, but I get what you're saying. Considering my wife works from home and my son is doing distance learning... I'm just glad I was home to deal with the outage when it happened.

              Can I restore the settings from version 2.5.1 on a 2.5.0 installation? NAT problems scratched my reputation with my users. I never imagined that something like this could happen with an official pfsense release

                    @cool_corona , @Gertjan It can't say It's wrong as long the port is covered in the range it should work as it was working before. However, I changed it to only port 80 but still the same issue standing. I have the same issue in this line https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11805:

                        Hi,

                        We have a problem here with IPSec mobile clients on 2.5.1 version:

                        https://forum.netgate.com/topic/164440/disconnect-button-is-dropping-all-active-connections

                        The 2.4.5-p1 version was solid as a rock.

                        I´m not very happy with change in version policy of Netgate.

                        Geovane

                          Just upgraded from 2.4.5-p1 to 2.5.2. Haven't encountered any problems (yet). pfBlockerNG, IPsec and OpenVPN are all working.
