Title: Firewall rules [new] missing
Post by: SVMartin80 on September 16, 2026, 05:17:11 PM
While Opnsense is running fine as my home firewall and I only need to regularly update it, this time I thought it might be a good time to use the migration assistant to migrate to the new rules engine. I'm running version OPNsense 26.7.4_1-amd64 and did find the migration assistent. After exporting the rules to csv, I need to import them in the new rules engine. Which I should find at firewall => rules [new]. Unfortunately.. I can't find that menu item. Anyone who could help this beginner?

It's at the bottom at the right and it's an icon with a small arrow in it I believe ?!

Also make sure the theme you are using isn't bugged and not showing it for whatever reason !!
Or your browser...

When the new system was still new (in 26.1) it was named accordingly. Now (26.7) it's the default and named "Rules". The old UI is now named "Rules legacy" if you have the plugin installed.

Isn't all of this obvious? Do you expect the rules UI to be named "new" for eternity? Someone starting with OPNsense now will never know there once was a different one.
