22.7 Broke VLAN!!!

Everything worked prior to upgrading from 22.X to 22.7 and had been for years.

I initially saw this post and a potential solution (i.e. changing the "Interfaces>>Settings>>VLAN Hardware Filter" to "Default" when it was previously set to "Disable VLAN Hardware Filter" which by the way should have no impact on my system running modern NICs that fully support VLAN and all those other features (CRC, TSO, LRO...)

I rebooted the system a few dozen times adjusting all those settings within the Interfaces>>Settings, only to be left with the same result...a broken system/setup (VLAN inoperable)

I originally transitioned from pfSense to OPNsense but now I plan to abandon OPNsense after this debacle as it appears quality control is nonexsistent or lazy - time spent on this issue more than justifies an alternate firewall.

My final attempt and what push my decision to start pursing an alternative was a brand new clean install of OPNsense. I built a new/fresh installation from scratch and amazingly it worked!!! I was content but then during a power failure and a reboot of the system the issue returned and VLANs broke again.fine

Anyone else dealing with this and frustrated... I would rollback to a version prior to 22.7, seek alternatives or bang your head and spend hours troubleshooting to no avail.

Trouble shooting:
reboots, didn't help.

What fixed it. 
Interfaces: Settings
Changed VLAN Hardware Filtering from Disabled to Default
Changed Disable hardware checksum offload from unchecked to checked.

Reboot, now is working. Not sure what fixed it though.

Thanks! I upgraded and had the same issue. Made the change from disabled to default within interface>>settings>>from disabled to default. Next, I rebooted and everything worked.

UPDATE
It appears that the VLANS work shortly after a reboot but within a min or two its broke - this latest update has broken all VLANs. Next, troubleshooting option is to install a clean OPNsense instance :(

UPDATE (1 August 2022)
A clean installed fixed/resolved my issue with VLANS not working...not sure why but oh well.
