Description
Traffic sourced from the firewall itself will always open states on the interface with the default system route. Even though traffic may not actually leave via that interface.
This means that for TCP traffic it can be blocked by the default firewall rules as being out-of-state.
For example this 6100 has two WANs configured. Both are DHCP with gateways passed by the upstream server:
[22.05-RELEASE][root@6100-2.stevew.lan]/root: netstat -rn4 Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Netif Expire default 172.21.16.1 UGS ix3 127.0.0.1 link#10 UH lo0 172.21.16.0/24 link#8 U ix3 172.21.16.1 90:ec:77:0f:74:43 UHS ix3 172.21.16.170 link#8 UHS lo0 192.168.170.0/24 link#1 U igc0 192.168.170.1 link#1 UHS lo0 192.168.241.0/24 link#7 U ix2 192.168.241.1 90:ec:77:0f:74:44 UHS ix2 192.168.241.10 link#7 UHS lo0
The default gateway is via WAN (ix3).
It can a device that is further upstream outside both the WAN subnets via either route:

However a TCP connection to the same target will only succeed via the default system route:

On the firewall itself both those connections show as states on the WAN interface:

The firewall log on the sending device shows that traffic is eventually blocked as the TCP flags do not match the open states:

This only affects traffic sourced from the firewall itself. Policy routed traffic from other local subnets opens states as expected and passes.
