I set up the proxy server and discovered that it won't do transparent proxy even though I selected that option. It does filter and behave properly if I treat it as a manual proxy. Any ideas on that?  I updated to 16.1.17 but still no go.

I had to pull the Opnsense firewall because it kept crashing every couple of days. When it crashed, I couldn't connect to the web interface or ping the lan card. When I checked the connected monitor, the screen was just full of jibberish. I didn't have time to troubleshoot at that point because I was going to be out of the office for 4 days. When I got back I started checking things out. Checked the logs but couldn't find anything, may have lost the pertinent log info because of the delay in looking at it. Did full diagnostics on the hardware but found nothing wrong. Ran it for several days off a live Linux Mint cd without any failure. I decided to set it up on a secondary network I have but it hasn't run long enough to reproduce the failure, apparently. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this or how to find out what is happening. I also updated to the latest version today, 16.1.17 - I think, so maybe this issue won't return.??

I am having trouble getting the firewall rules to actually work. Trying to block outgoing traffic to a particular ip address but it doesn't seem to work. Attached is a screen shot of the rule I am trying to use. The gateway setting is default. Not sure what is wrong.
