Issues with losing Firewall restrictions and rules

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

hardware failure?

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

Where is the log that I can review to ensure it is not a hardware issue?

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