      Is "Skip rules when gateway is down" under System>Advance>Miscelleneous>Gateway Monitoring not working in pfsense? PORT 80,8080,443 still going to rule#2 even the Gateway is Down, it should skip the rule and go to rule#3 right? But its not happening.

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

            Do you have it reset the states on gateway failure?

            That change would only affect new connection attempts, not existing connections.
