      Hi folks,

      I'm using the following:
      2.3.2-RELEASE (amd64)
      built on Tue Jul 19 12:44:43 CDT 2016
      FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p5

      I have many VPN client connections setup to Private Internet Access and they work perfectly.
      I recently install OpenVPN on a server I own in Germany. I now have a connection to that too. Connection works fine.

      I am trying to setup a new rule to route traffic from a single IP on my network to the server.
      I have many of the same rule forcing traffic out over various VPN gateways. They work fine.

      When I copy an existing rule or or outbound NAT rule I get the following error: Please match the format requested. (See attached)

      This is happening if I copy an existing rule and then simply try clicking save. i.e. nothing has changed but it no longer likes it.

      I've tried with a single IP and an alias but neither work.

      What am I missing? Why would it not allow a new rule.

      Thanks
      F

        Use another browser, do this: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=113416.msg656239#msg656239 or use another browser and wait for 2.3.2_1 which is expected shortly.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          :( I should have searched first. Sorry <walks away="" in="" shame="">Thanks for the tip - patch worked.

          When I next upgrade will the patch be removed automagically?</walks>
