New rule system

[Monviech (Cedrik)]

Another way to force priority changes:

- Fake Floating: Add a random loopback interface additionally to any single interface rule

- Fake Group: Add a new firewall group with a single interface

Or you change the approach how you build your ruleset.

Thanks for the all the replies. I am still trying to understand how the new interface will look like. Are there annotated before/after screenshots for all the changes available? I have read the link Franco provided about the processing order when I started to use OPNsense (many yers ago), but since I do not use "Rule Automation", the overall processing order documentation was much more helpful to me back then.

While I could glean that the changes mostly pertain to the automation rules and UI, a bunch of posts suggested that the order of other rules (interface, floating, NAT) will change with 26.1.

If this is not the case and if everything will still work without changes when I do not use automation, this can be closed from my side. (Although I am still interested in the current discussion about automation as well.)

However, if there's anything in the UI and/or processing order that will change for anything but automation, I would like to repeat my question: how exactly does it change and what is the difference to the current UI and/or processing order?
