Title: Destination NAT - changes not updated to Firewall Rules
Post by: swfchang on April 29, 2026, 12:40:46 AM
Was doing some testing on Destination NAT. Changes made to the NAT rules were not updated in the Firewall Rules. Tried create a new Destination NAT (Press the apply button after all the changes). However, the new/changed Destination are not reflected in the Firewall Rules. Is there something that I'm missing that might have changed with how NAT/Firewall works ?

Thanks,
Wing

Perhaps you could show the NAT rules you've created/changed.

Please double check, but I am pretty sure that with the new release, the firewall rules shall be manually handled.

Thanks. There're "Manual" and "Pass" options to choose from on each Destination NAT rule. Defaults to "Manual" which require manually setting up the firewall rules.

Also, when set to "Register rule", it will appear in your rules as an "Automatic Rule", which will be visible when "Inspect" is enabled.
