Title: Old Rules --> New rules
Post by: Jimmy007 on April 30, 2026, 06:19:07 PM
Greetings - Now we have the "new" rules menu, is there a way to remove the "old" rules menu? I apologise if this has not been asked already.

With time.

Currently there are both menus New and Legacy.
Once its ready only New will remain and Legacy will be sunset.

Currently that's not the case. Once its ready it will be announced so users will have to migrate.

Regards,
S.

Funny, came here to ask exactly the same question. I understand that these changes require a careful and long transition time. Meanwhile, people who did the switch are facing a more cluttered interface of [new], [legacy] options (same is going on for DHCP Services). For me, it is not the aesthetic aspect but my pure stupidity, which let me start do changes in the old config, before I noticed I'm at the wrong spot.

I would love to see a possibility to mark certain entries, including those I don't use, in the particular menu bar to set them to be invisible. Potentially indicating that the current view of the menu bar is a shortened version, by a very subtle "..." sign at the end of a menu-bar. Clicking on that three dots, will extend the menu bar to its complete and full glory.

Thus, users could shorten and customize the menus for daily use, without losing the possibility to quickly access seldomly used features.

There has been recent talk about a "Favorites" feature for the webGUI and you can follow it here : https://github.com/opnsense/core/pull/10033
