I believe there are major changes in the config between 1.2.3 and 2.1
True
@Roots0:
and using a config from 1.2.3 is not recommended for security reasons!
Not true. The config will be converted to the new format automatically, if it's restored in full. Partial config restores are only supported on the same version. In that case it just won't work, no security reasons.
OP: are you restoring the full config or just part of it?
If going to backup/restore and selecting restore all counts as a full restore then yes.
I did see another options over in advanced setup, but I don't know what it does.
Th only problem is that every time I restore it in my VM, it caused a kernel panic on the host machine. I don't know if it's because of virtio or what, so it could be the config never fully uploads.
I like 2.1, it has alot of things I need, captive portal zones, virtio support, auto update, actual 1:1 mapping for public to private addresses. An improvement over the workaround of using virtual ip proxy arp setup.
