How to disable packet filter permanently in opnsense

[athisesanr]

Hi Folks,

I'm new to Opnsense and am about to check the possibility of permanent pf disability in Opnsense since we are facing issues like every gui change will get my pf enabled and the get manual enable using pfctl -d on the moments.

Thanks,

FIREWALL: SETTINGS: ADVANCED

Disable Firewall: X

If I disable this option then entire firewall options will be disabled right..!

is there any other way to prevent the manual cli types pfctl -d cmd after every change dones.

The OPNsense uses pf for all packet filtering and NAT. Without pf active, you don't have any firewall. You turn it into a router. Thats what this option does.

pfctl -d also disables all firewall functions. That option in the UI does pfctl -d, only permanently.
