Outbound NAT - Source NAT Migration: Outbound back to Automatic outbound?

[flushell]

I migrated my "Outbound NAT" to "Source NAT".
Seems to work.
Now manual Outbound NAT rules are empty, as is expected in the "old" interface.

Can I now put Mode back to "Automatic outbound NAT rule generation"? It was of course on "Hybrid outbound NAT rule generation"
Or are the new "Source NAT" manual rules not applied in that case?

It seems logical to put it back on Automatic, because in Source NAT, Mode  "Hybrid Source NAT rule generation is selected.

Old and new manual rules are not applied in that case. Keep it at hybrid, it is the best mode anyways.

Yes, I see now that if I change then old one to Automatic, the other is on Automatic too now.

Thanks!

That's how it's designed to work : I asked about it earlier this week :)

IMHO you should keep things at Hybrid NAT Mode according to the Release Notes :

Note that this update brings the outbound to source NAT migration page, but it
is only a formality as outbound NAT will stay in 26.7 although the legacy
firewall rules page will move to a plugin during the major upgrade.  It is the
same process that was employed with ISC-DHCP.  Due to this addition, however,
the source NAT rules entered in the system will no longer work unless the
mode is set to either "manual" or "hybrid".
