GP 06:02 PM pfSense Feature #13416: Change gateway monitoring actions default to "disabled"
Yes plz! Gateway actions on a single WAN (most of our customers) is silly and only complicates things. Monitoring should remain on, but the default should be no action taken. George Phillips

GP 12:14 PM pfSense Packages Bug #11271: Setting default-originate in FRR/BGP Silently Appends a route-map
Basically, that drop-down menu should be empty unless the user defines their own route-maps. The ipv4, ipv6, and ipv4+ipv6 route maps do not exist and should not be options in the drop-down. George Phillips

GP 01:41 PM pfSense Packages Feature #9751 (Resolved): Need an "inclusive" and "exclusive" method of specifying ports
At this time, Avahi doesn't seem to like to run if the "allow-interfaces" config item contains more than 33 interfaces. I suspect this is because the interface list can get very long, and ends up getting truncated. However, it *will* r... George Phillips

GP 05:54 PM pfSense Bug #8367 (Resolved): Traffic Graph widget shows Inverse view, even when Inverse is set to Off.
Tested in 2.4.3.a.20180313.0000.
When setting the Traffic Graph widget for Inverse=Off, the graph still displays in Inverse view. No setting will change this.
Compare the two attached screenshots.

GP 11:28 AM pfSense Bug #8298 (Resolved): OpenVPN Wizard protocol defaults to "UDP IPv4 and IPv6 on all interfaces" causing problems
The OpenVPN Wizard's default protocol is "UDP IPv4 and IPv6 on all interfaces (multihome). However, when you are binding the service to a VIP (CARP or IP Alias), OpenVPN is unable to determine the address-family of the VIP and assumes "... George Phillips

GP 04:56 PM pfSense Feature #7292 (New): DynamicDNS configuration does not sync to HA secondary
If DynamicDNS is configured on the HA primary firewall, it's configuration will not be duplicated to the secondary. I suspect this is because it can only monitor an interface IP or gateway group, and not a CARP VIP, thus having this in ... George Phillips
