Title: automatically generated rules missing in Rules [new], still avauilable in Rules
Post by: knowHoff on April 22, 2026, 05:56:32 PM
Dear people,

after migrating "Rules" to "Rules[new]" within OPNsense 26.1.5
I was looking for those very helpful basic rules like

.sshlockout
.allow access to DHCP server
.Default deny / state violation rule
etc.

only to find them within "Rules" (old rules) in LAN, WAN, etc.

I saw here (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=51062.0), that these rules should have been ported to "Rules [new]".

The official documentation does not mention automatically generated within Rules [new],
only within Rules (4.) (https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/firewall.html#id2)

Therefore I'm worried, that as soon as Rules are removed, this will also remove the Basic, important rulesets all along within LAN and WAN.

What has to be done now?
Am I missing something?

Cheers

Click on "Inspect" to view them. The new and the old rule interface simply display them, since they cannot be changed by the user, anyway.

There is nothing "old" or "new" about the rules. These are simply two different UIs to the very same subsystem. The old one going to be removed, eventually.
