<![CDATA[pfSense upgrade to 22.05 caused my server to go down]]>I have pfSense that's in production with 100 users, I just got update notification for 22.05, updates my pfsense and I'm getting

Filter Reload There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: pfctl_rules - The line in question reads [0]

Removed all packages, same. even updated to development snapshot, same. Can someone please help?

I also did this:

egrep -v '^#|^[[:blank:]]*$' /tmp/rules.debug | sort | uniq -c | grep -v '^ 1

only duplicate line is
2 table <negate_networks> { 10.255.50.0/24 }

and when I check /tmp/rules.debug

I see this:

table <vpn_networks> { 10.255.50.0/24 }
table <negate_networks> { 10.255.50.0/24 }
table <negate_networks> { 10.255.50.0/24 }

I got that notice after my rules had not been updated for some time.

I followed iTestAndroid tecnique and confirmed that I had too this negate duplicate networks , so i checked "Disable Negate rules" and manually reloaded filter, which addressed the issue. but issue is not solved yet.
I'have also tryed disabling nat reflection, but nothing
Output of:

pfctl -f /tmp/rules.debug

is

pfctl: pfctl_rules

Following this thread after solved the duplicate ruleset, a reboot was needed. That solved the issue for me.

The duplicate line issue you linked was during development but wasn't a problem later.

What do you see if you run pfctl -f /tmp/rules.debug?

There is probably some other error in there, not related to what you are seeing.
