This has been an ongoing issue since the pre-1.0 days. I'm not sure why it happens, but for some reason, the router will just decide to delete all of my firewall rules. It looks like it corrupts them or something. I will setup rules, reboot, everything will run fine for a while...then network will start acting odd and blocking hosts. The status page on the router looks fine, but when i reboot to fix the issue, most or all of my rules have changed form "name of rule" to "rule_1" and all of the associated rule data is lost. The only solution is to rebuild the ruleset. This has to be a pretty common issue for anyone that uses firewall restrictions.
I currently on the latest 1.10.0 build.
thanks

Re: Issues with losing Firewall restrictions and rules
hardware failure?
Re: Issues with losing Firewall restrictions and rules
Not hardware, since I've had the same issue against a number of different routers. I think there is something in the code that's bugging out when you make changes.

Are you accessing more than 1 page on Gargoyles GUI at once? This is a big no no.

Hi All
I am having the same issue, even without reboots,I can create a restriction save it. When I add another restriction and save it all the other restrictions are deleted

Can you please give me an exact set of steps to reproduce the error?
It must generate the error every time.
