Description

After restoring a backup to a different hardware access from LAN to WAN was not passed through.

Steps to reproduce:
- Configure Hybrid Outbound NAT rule generation under Firewall / NAT / Outbound.
- Create a configuration backup.
- Restore backup to a different device.

After that access to WAN subnet is not possible from LAN (although pfSense device itself does connect properly).

In my test case scenario the "new" hardware device had different nic names (em* instead of ig*).

In order to make it work I had to re-apply "Automatic" mode and then "Hybrid" mode again.

Any manual outbound NAT rules in the list would have to be updated by hand (even in hybrid mode). Anything automatic would be identical in either Hybrid or Automatic mode. It's doubtful what you did actually solved anything other than triggering a filter reload.
