Firewall Rules Not Executing In Order

[OzTechGeek]

Hi All,

Setting up OPNsense for the first time, and created a couple of test rules in my test VM to see how everything works, but having an issue with the rule firing order. I have 4 basic rules for testing the firewall and I was expecting the "first match" to apply to my traffic, but looks like it's applying the "last match" even though I have all rules set to "quick"

LAN Rules:

Code: [Select]

Description Action Quick Interface Direction TCP/IP Version Protocol Source Source Port Destination Destination Port
Allow Gateway Access Pass Yes LAN IN IPv4 ANY LAN net ANY LAN address ANY
Allow Subnet Access Pass Yes LAN IN IPv4 ANY LAN net ANY LAN net ANY
Block Access To All Internal Networks Block Yes LAN IN IPv4 ANY LAN net ANY N_Internal_Networks ANY
Block Access To All External Networks Block Yes LAN IN IPv4 ANY LAN net ANY ANY ANY

HOTE: 192.168.10.251 is my test OPNsense VM and 192.168.10.10 is my laptop connecting to the web GUI.

I was expecting rule ""Allow Subnet Access" to be applied not rule "Block Access To All Internal Networks"

Thoughts/ideas?

As a test a created a new firewall group called "Internet_Access" and added only my internal interfaces to it "LAN, VLAN1, VLAN2, VLAN3, VLAN4, VLAN5"

I created the following 2 rules in "Internet_Access" as a test

Code: [Select]

Rule #: 1
Description: FG_Internet_Access - Allow My Laptop
Action: Pass
Protocol: IPv4 TCP/UDP
Source: H_MyLaptop
Port: *
Destination: ! N_Internal_Networks
Port: *

Rule #: 2
Description: FG_Internet_Access - Block Internet Access
Action: Block
Protocol: IPv4 *
Source: *
Port: *
Destination: ! N_Internal_Networks
Port: *

The results are very strange to me it allowed very few to "PASS" but "BLOCKED" more

PASS:
