Title: Rules [new] vs. Rules
Post by: ks on May 24, 2026, 08:41:39 AM
Hello all,

I'm running few OPNsense 26.1.8_5 firewalls, and one of these is getting me nuts.

In details the (in)famous bTicino Classe 100X16E intercom system is struggling to connect to Wi-Fi and thus internet.

After days of tests (and other devices connected to same Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz network working properly) I narrowed the issue to the specific ports this intercom system needs.

They are:
-5061 SIP
-5228 SIP
-0 to 65000 UDP
-80/ 443 HTTP/HTTPS
-8883 MQTTS

Now my question and request to help/hints is: where should I create new firewall rules in OPNsense? In the new Rules [new] tab, or in the older Rules tab?
Are they still working togheter, so I need to create rules in both?

Can someone shed some light on this?

Thanks

Both work, but with 26.7 the legacy rules management GUI will be available as a plugin only. You can still use it but it won't receive any more feature updates and will eventually be removed although that could be 2-3 years from now.

So long story short: use Rules [new].


Cheers,
Franco

Hello Franco,

thanks for the reply.

That means the actually present rules in > Rules can be safely all deleted?
