Description

With the re-introduction of if-bound as the default PF state policy, services on the firewall (which do not automatically add a route) bound to secondary WAN's will fail. This is due to route-to outbound states being bound to the route interface (details on #12630).

For rules with reply-to, outbound traffic doesn't match the state - presumably it only looks for the route interface (and not also the route-to interface).

This essentially breaks anything that isn't simply a failover-only multi-WAN setup such as an OpenVPN server listening on a second WAN, port forwarding on a second WAN, and accessing the WebGUI on a second WAN.
