    Hi, I don't know if this is due to a bug or what, but this morning I encountered error messages on my pfSense 2.4.5 p1 over Hyper-V, the error is attached in the image. It turns out that a firewall rule was deleted and an alias as well. It is gone. But the logs show nothing concerning a configuration change. However pfSense tells me that there are failures in the rule, and the rule is gone.
    Do you have any idea what this error could be due to?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Regards
    Gabriel

      Sure looks like whatever is in your AKAWIN alias didn't resolve. ;)

      What is in this alias?

        @johnpoz Sorry for the delay. The alias also disappeared along with the rule.

          @_neok was you rule and alias created by pfblocker? Rules just don't get deleted without something happening? Restore of old config? Change in pfblocker?

            @johnpoz The rule was not made from pfBlocker, it was made from pfSense. Exactly that is what is strange to me. No changes were made to pfSense. Nothing. Zero. The rule is gone and so is the alias.
            pfBlocker only updates a list of IPs. Nothing else.

              @_neok When you say no changes, you're looking at Diagnostics/Backup & Restore/Config History? Is it possible it booted and for some reason restored/recovered an old config file? I seem to vaguely recall reading about that somewhere, if the config file was corrupt, but can't find that right now.

              Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
              When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
