Connections drop on filter reload

[Woodsomeister]

Hello,
in our company we use a Pfsense appliance as the central gateway and for firewall functions, including VPN and so on.
In the last months we discovered a problem regarding existing TCP connections:

• on a filter reload or after writing and confirming a new rule, all connections are somehow reset or dropped
• for example existing TeamViewer connections are dropped, so they must be re-initialized

Does somebody has a clue what could be the reason for this?

Thanks.

Is your wan going down, is it changing to a different wan connection..

Normal change of a rule will not reset states... Your saying ALL states are being killed? Are you running any sort of schedules?
