pfSense+ Firewall Rule Order
-
Good Afternoon!
So I recently finally got the chance to buy a pfSense+ box after many years of using pfSense on a BYOD box and... its been something... Been having a ton of issues, but for this post, is anyone aware of why Firewall rules would constantly shift order when new rules are created.
I have been unable to consistently replicate the issue, however, it most commonly happens when copying a rule from one interface to another. I would chalk this up to forgetting to click save, but it has happened a couple dozen times while recreating my firewall rules from my old pfSense box.
Yes, I am aware you have to save at the bottom of the page when changing order, every time I change order & save I always click the interface tab to reload the page to verify the order was saved properly.
I am on the latest version of pfSense.
pfSense is a clean install (less than 2 weeks old)
Manually configuring, not restoring from backup. -
@surroundtortilla If you click the [Add
] button it adds to the top.
[Add
] adds to the bottom.The rules thing doesn't change between Plus and CE so I am curious if you can record a video showing what you're experiencing...
Unless, of course, you're running pfBlockerNG which will re-order the rules to put its at the top whenever it reloads.

@surroundtortilla What Ryan said, but also why not restore the config from backup? What model did you get? If it has a switch Netgate will convert it for you.

@steveits Wanted to do a fresh build, clear out any gremlins in the config I have accumulated over the last 10 or so years. I ended up going with a Netgate 1537 1U
