    @jmbraben Restore reinstalls all packages which would pull the files from the latest 2.7.x as I recall. Starting in 2.7.2 one has to manually change the update branch to move to the next version do it is safer now. The problem is, let’s say the current version has a later PHP and a package is dependent on PHP, it will install the later version which may not work with 2.7.0 code. Or similar with various libraries. .1 fixed several security flaws: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/2-7-1.html#security

    @jonatkins said in pfSense 2.7 makes HP printers crash: Any specific patches I should enable? I can't see anything relevant. I am not sure, but you can try apply all recommended patches, just for test, i think most of them anyway will be applied on the next version available.

    Good job! Perhaps you could document it for other users?

    The only thing I can think of that might possibly be affected is the filtering change. Try setting 'IPsec Filter Mode' to assigned interfaces in the IPSec advanced settings. However if that was the issue I'd expect to see blocked traffic in the firewall logs. Unless you have custom block rules without logging maybe?

    Try running top with: top -HaSP That should show you what's using the CPU.

    The important thing is that it uses a globally routable address rather than the WAN link-local address automatically. So you only need a public address on any interface for pfSense itself to have IPv6 connectivity.

    Try manually reloading the ruleset in Status > Filter Reload. See what errors are shown exactly. Steve

    Module/library errors like that are almost always because pfSense has pulled in newer pkgs somehow. Did you ever select the 24.08 update branch? Those could also be logged during an upgrade. Did you upgrade to 24.03 recently?

    It might be set to use the serial console as primary. It would usually show the console menu on both consoles if it boots correctly. You can try forcing the video console at boot: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/boot-issues.html#booting-with-an-alternate-console

    Yup we can convert that for you if you open a ticket: https://www.netgate.com/tac-support-request Otherwise you should be able to import the old config whilst checking the 'preserve switch config' option and then reassign the interfaces as the VLANs. But I would just open a ticket! Steve

    Hmm, well I'd try a packet capture on the tunnel and see if the download is being fragmented or there are retransmissions etc.

    It uses the ssh key which should be in the backup config. I assume you mean the ACB key? If you send me the NDI or Hint/Identifier in chat I can try to look it up for you. Steve

    As a test try just linking two ports together directly and then check the link state at the CLI with ifconfig -v. There shouldn't be an issue linking at 1G. You may have a bad port.

    @denitrosubmena said in Where are .iso (not .iso.gz) download files?: upload files from your computer because they dont want risks How does that in anyway mitigate risk?? I just serve up my "risky" iso from my machine, or anywhere else on the planet - like some cheap vps, etc.. With for example the tiny little exe that was linked to that provides a http or https server, hfs Now if they did something that checked that hey the https url is to a legit company that provides distros ok maybe it some very slight risk reduction..
