General Discussion / Re: Firewall LAN rules not working as expected (Lan -> Lan blocked)

There's nothing like staring at a problem and changing something that you think "this could NOT possibly have ANY impact to the problem" - but it does.
Fixed.
WHY it broke is still unclear to me, but the fix was for me to move the 50.2 server to the same switch that is on my LAN port of my OPNsense device.
It was attached to a different switch, which is actually my WiFi AP device.
So the traffic WAS:
iPhone -> AP -> Server (physically attached to AP)
And is now:
iPhone -> AP -> Switch -> Server
I'm guessing that the Asus WiFi device in AP mode is doing something funky that is confusing the OPNsense firewall as to where the packet originated from.
