PHP Fatal error after adding port forward
-
I just tried to forward a port from my WAN port to a static IP on my LAN. I selected NAT reflection: Enable and Filter rule: Add associated filter rule.
After doing this I returned to the dashboard and found "Netgate pfSense Plus has detected a crash report or programming bug." which led me to:

Now if I click on Firewall / Rules all of my interfaces appear to have no rules. Clicking between interfaces on the Rules page will eventually lock up the web interface.
How can I recover from this? Are my old rules active? I'm hoping this is just the web interface that's broken and not the underlying firewall config!

Port forwarding ..... so devices from the Internet can reach an internal, LAN based, device, right ?
See here : Network Address Translation - so chose the very first proposition called Port Forwarding.
Imho, : you don't need to use, and don't need to deal with NAT Reflection.
delete your faulty NAT rule, reload the firewall and restart using [Network Address Translation](Network Address Translation) - so you've chosen the first proposition called Port Forwarding.
Btw : Beta 23.09 ?
Is it because you use an arm based device you've stopped updating / upgrading ? -
Yup, you should upgrade. 23.09.1 is later than the last release for the SG-1000 so it must be a 3100 which supports the current Plus version.
You might have pulled in a newer pkg if the branch is selected and that could cause the PHP error.

Ok, thanks for the suggestions. It's a Netgate 3100 and running in production. I will try to update this weekend. (The old firewall rules do appear to be in operation - whew!)
