NAT Reflection not working if LAN is bridged
0%
Description
I have been trying everything to get NAT reflection working. My last effort was to remove LAN bridge (which I wasn't really using anymore). And voila, NAT Reflection was working after loading the modified XML config without any interaction or changes - just a reboot.
I am 100% sure, that there are no other changes were made besides removing the brdige and moving DHCP Server (and everything else) to the LAN interface.
I am 100% sure that NAT reflection was not working before no matter what combination of settings I have tried.
I am 100% sure that NAT reflection is working now.

what was LAN bridged to? Was there an IP on the bridge itself or was it on the LAN interface?

It was bridged with an OpenVPN PSK TAP Client. That connection has been down for about a month but was not disabled. I have just disabled it :-)

The only other explanation that came to my mind is that nat reflection might need a reboot to activate under some circumstances. This might be really hard to figure out. Furthermore I have made various reboots due to version upgrades. However only recently I tried a minimal setup with reflection disabled globally but only pure nat added to a few essential rules.

This is almost certainly solved via pure NAT reflection. Open a new issue with current info if it is not.
