    @pfGeorge
    24.03 is listed as still being a supported version (https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/versions.html) , but the published fixes are listed as only being for 24.11 and 2.7.2.
    Does that mean 24.03 doesn't have this vulnerability or is 24.03 no longer supported, or patches for 24.03 are coming out later?

    @FollyDude-0 As the logs say, receiving a pado without requesting it is an indication of something wrong in the setup, possibly outside pfsense config.

    I have no such issues with new pppoe too.

    @aaronssh said in pfSense Plus Multi-Instance Management Q&A - SNEAK PEEK:

    This is great news. The one thing I really care about: can firewall aliases sync between devices? That would be a HUGE productivity gain.

    With an API and 300 commands, I don't think they skipped one to push aliases to the devices.

    Certainly a very exciting development and improvement. However, like pfSense in general these days, it seems to be heavily inspired by developers' and marketing ideas and less by practical needs of network security professionals.

    Some parts of the video call sound a bit far fetched, to be honest:

    I never actually heard a complaint about a central management platform being too slow. Anyway, let's assume that a product out there is sluggish. Would it imply that you can move your enterprise firewalling from product x to pfSense, because Netgate's MIM is so much more responsive?

    API vs. CLI: Outside of (mostly: cloud) environments that have a really mature, custom control plane, APIs of firewall appliances are rarely used, even on platforms that had them for years. CLIs are being used all the time, athough they are orders of magnitude slower than the slowest API, because they allow efficient manual changes as well as interfacing with a variety of third-party configuration managers with minimal adaptation. Whether a configuration change takes .4 or 78 seconds to apply is hardly relevant in a production environment. How many third-party vendors will support the pfSense API?

    Scale: So far, it would have been very tedious to build infrastructures with thousands of pfSense instances. Hence, was it a real world need to support scaling into the tens of thousands, because so many clients with 15,000 instances each are urgently waiting for that feature? Or is it more about the many SMBs and SMB "MSPs" that maybe reach a two- or low three-digit number? The latter would have profited substantially from a CLI. With an API, they either do some very limited improvsation on the side, or have to use the Netgate platform right away.

    I thought it best to create a separate topic so we can keep this one clean.

    That's this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15411

    It creates some logs at boot that cause it. Once they scroll off the page should display normally.

    I applied the 24.03 update today to my 1100. Appears to have executed smoothly and rebooted back into production without issue.

    Prior to executing the update, I removed all the packages. After the update, I reinstalled all the packages from scratch.

    For some reason, some packages did not start automatically after installation including pfBlocker and Status Traffic Totals.

    So I ran the pfBlocker download process and when that was complete it started up normally. I started Status Traffic Totals from the dashboard without incident.

    My packages are:

    Cron
    Mailreport
    pfBlockerNG
    Service Watchdog
    Status Traffic Total
    System Patches

    My plan is to run this in production for a week or so to verify stability and then update my shelf-spare 1100. This will complete my update cycle.

    Cool. I'm a FreeBSD user for a long time, have always preferred ZFS even on single disk systems because of Boot Environments.

    Doing a major upgrade I've always done the "create a new BE, mount it, chroot to it and do the upgrade" process.
    That lets you do the upgrade kernel, upgrade userlande, upgrade all the packages into the new BE while you are still running, then when you boot into that newly created BE everything is consistent, so you have a lot less risk of things going bad. They still can, but that's where the bootonce flag comes in. If the system fails to boot up completely (where the flag gets cleared) reboot and you are back to pre upgrade.

    Automating this process is a very good thing to have. Very good stuff Netgate.
