Priority Settings (advanced) in firewall rule will silently drop the packets

when setting the prioriy in a firewall rule allowing traffic (set priority=voice(5), set priority [low-delay]=Voice(5)) the matching packets get silently dropped.

IPv4 Outbound Traffic NATed (for a SIP Trunk)

when i remove these advanced options everything works as expected

OPNsense 26.1.10-amd64

while you're technically right :)

the thing is I imported the firewall settings from an older "silbling" OPNsense where these settings worked (let traffic pass)

so the settings that worked before stopped working silently (was a hell to figure out the reason). Don't think that's how it should be (esp. if you use these options for what they are intended to do)









I hit this problem too when I first set up my OPNsense firewall whilst configuring VoIP rules. The settings relate to the PCP of a VLAN interface - see Advanced in https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/firewall.html#id3

Perhaps the reason the rules worked on the "sibling" could be due to the interface being a VLAN, whereas on this one it isn't.
