They always seem to be stuck in learning mode. To be clear this is a VLAN bridge. Both sides can see the internet just fine.

Stuck. Any ideas?

The bridge members are supposed to be 'learning', that's normal.

What firewall rules do you have?

How is the bridge filtering configured?

How are you testing?

Found it -

needed to set:

net.link.bridge.pfil_member
net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge

both to zero.

Doing so removes all filtering. You can have filtering as long as you have the rules to pass traffic you need.
