So i'm on 27.7.8 and since i updated (i missed a few releases and jumped from 27.7.1 or 3) i have to go into firewall routes for my second LAN and change the gateway to get it to route traffic.

I have a work from home router which i turn off when i finish work at the end of the day, and then turn on again in the morning. With out fail it can't connect to the internet unless i go in to the opnsense firewall and change the gateway.

I have a group with my two WANs in it, but it doesn't matter what i set it to, wan group, either single wan, every morning it won't 'allow' traffic. I turned on logging on the rule i'm changing the gateway on but it doesn't seem to show any deny or block/drop

I'm kinda lost but did see a change to a gateway package between the releases....

So upgraded to 23.7.8_1 and the gateway doesn't need changing every time the interface comes up. Didn't see anything on the release notes (tho it was before my morning coffee)

Seemed it was a one off.

Rather than change the gateway to get it working, today i tried disabling the interface on opnsense, then reenableing it. That has also worked.

Gonna try ticking the do not remove option in the interface as well, see if it's maybe removing a dead route or something that its then not readding....
