PFSense Drops for a couple of seconds….

[senate014]

Hi there

I'm using PFSense 2.3.2.

Everytime I apply a firewall rule change or a new firewall/NAT rule all my connections drop for 3-4 seconds then come back online….

For instance, I'm working from home and remoting into my servers via PCoIP and RDP, when I press apply on the PFSense box after changing some FW or NAT rules my connection drops for 3-4 seconds.

This also happens on internal LAN connections. I can be working on a server in 172.16.0.xxx subnet from 10.10.1.xxx subnet, I change a FW or NAT rule, press apply and the connection drops between the two internal subnet for 3-4 seconds, me remote session then comes back online.

This never use to happen to me on my PFSense router when it was running 2.2.X

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Andy
