Title: Upgraded to 26.7 - what should my rule status be?
Post by: instantdreams on October 23, 2026, 08:01:19 PM
I read the release notes, I reviewed the Migration Assistant, then I followed the steps. This included exporting my rules and adjusting **interface** to *lan* where it was *blank* and **ipprotocol** to *inet* when it was *inet46*. Everything appeared to work, and the Firewall | Migration Assistant has disappeared.

After this process I have the following status:
I had assumed that the firewall rules would be gone, replaced by the Source NAT rules. What am I missing?

The fact that these two require !! 2 seperate migrations !! :
- Firewall Rules (Legacy) to Firewall Rules [new]
This [new] variant becomes Firewall Rules after the migration.
- Outbound NAT Rules to Source NAT Rules
This becomes just Source NAT Rules after the migration.

TL;DR : I think you misunderstood the whole thing ?!

Source NAT rules do not replace firewall rules. If you remove the Firewall Rules, there are no policies left to permit traffic from the LAN,so DNS and connectivity stop working


@ nero355 — very clear explanation
