LAN to LAN rule that was required to bridge Wi-Fi to port 1 ... Is it still required ???

I would say no ...

I believe that rule was automatically generated few XG versions ago. If I'm not wrong, Sophos' documentation was explaining why that rule was necessary to allow the bridge LAN-WAN to work properly.

I haven't check if it is still the case with a v18 fresh install.

You need always a rule to allow any kind of traffic.

Communication between the same zone, even bridge, needs a Firewall rule.

Hello Lucar,

I read you and I understand this was the point at least a year ago or something.

BUT.

When that rule was enabled in v18 few days ago, it would permanently show 0 bytes traffic, and the log viewer has nothing to declare regarding it. Totally empty.

I disabled it and v18 kept running indifferently.

If it is any useful, why does it show 0 bytes ?

I'm convinced more than ever the log viewer REALLY needs a full re-write.
