      Hi.
      I really have a very easy setup. Some VLANs with some rules, for inter VLAN routing. After upgrading to version 2.8.1 from 2.7.2 and inter vlan routing stops working. Also dyndns updates are not working any more, but I found a workaround to get it up and working again.

      I have read some posts about this issue, but did not found a solution. Does someone of you have an idea what will be the problem? If you need additional information, please let me know I will give my best to sent you the information as fast as possible.

      Edit
      If there are no firewall rules, inter vlan routing is working fine. But most of my VLANs do not have permission to other VLANs, expect some specific rules.

        @big_blue do you have floating match rules? If so remove Quick.

        To upgrade, select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings. When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, CPU, and/or disk speed.
        Only install packages for your version of pfSense.

            @big_blue if so theyโ€™d be on the Floating tab.

              @SteveITS :
              you already give the answer in another thread:
              here

              My problem also was the state policy changes.
