Strange blocking of internal traffic

[canus]

Hi All,


My OPNsense instance has bizarre behavior. The same connection from a client in the plan to the server network will be allowed and blocked. I can access the services, but it will have a lot of problems, and I see lot of tcp retransmission.

Software:
Versions   OPNsense 23.1.1_2-amd64
FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p6
OpenSSL 1.1.1t 7 Feb 2023

Hardware:
nic: Ethernet Controller E810-XXV for SFP'
driver: intel ice

Networking:
LAGG Protocol LACP and VLAN on LAGG.

The network 172.23.23.0/24 has full permissions to 172.23.0.0/24.

Sure it's not a port blocking issue? Shows the only blocks for the origin address with port 56295.

Yes, I am pretty sure I did not block that port. It comes all from the ruleset "Default deny / state violation rule" which is autogenerated and will execute last.

It's also only a short sample of the logging. You will see all the allow and blocking actions like this.

Probably out of state packets.
What are the TCP flags of denied packets? If they are FA,RA,FPA,PA and the likes they are just finishing packets that got dropped because out of state.
