      HI, I have had this twice not on netgate 6100s. The rules seem to get corrupted part way through the config and no matter what I do the default blocks the traffic. The only fix I have found is to fasctory reset and start again. Is there any way of resetting rules? I tried to delete all rules and 1:1 nats and virtual IPs. Still did not work. The virtual IPs worked as I could browse to whatismyipaddress.com from the machine in question and it showed the correct virtual ip.
      Very annoying.
      I have setup probably 15 netgate units

        Are you using Layer 2 rules ?? if so remove the default blocks in 23.09.01 they act weird on the experimental ethernet layer 2 rules.

        Only Layer 2 rules

            @frog check your config.xml file, first delete separators all of them and check in config.xml file to make sure they are removed. I had issues where I still had a ghost entry and it would mix all my rules up.

              This helps explain it.

              Separators cause issues if you’re using them.
