Description

The patch we had to by-pass reply-to tagging for traffic sourced from the same subnet is not in main builds.

That means traffic from a client in the WAN subnet can no longer access the pfSense WAN IP address because replies go back to the gateway instead of directly.

This is a functional change that would affect a lot of users.

The behaviour should be restored either by a similar patch or by an automated rule with reply-to disabled when required.

While I still think the best fix here would be to teach the PHP code to generate a corresponding pass rule for local traffic the PHP code would need significant refactoring to make that possible.
So I've merged the original reply-to.diff patch into devel-main (not yet into plus-devel-main, but it'll get picked up in a future merge) as 2f3847cd957d5a493c8d691114bf387fb3d9690c.

I haven't needed the manual rule to disable reply-to on WAN since this went in months ago. Seems OK to close to me.
