Just tried again with next/2022-03-08 09:59:43 +0000-32ce7ab4/x86_64
It seems simple to reproduce.  See attached log.
At initial boot after fresh install, cannot ping local private address 
gateway -- DROP_HOSTILE
After editing settings in /var/ipfiire/optionsfw/settings -- changing 
DROPHOSTILE to off -- and rebooting, things worked as expected.
I then changed DROPHOSTILE setting to on and rebooted -- resulting again 
with DROP_HOSTILE when pinging my local gateway.
