You may need to inch forward on your restore using the selective restore options on the "Backup & Restore" page. Take what you need, leave the rest. Then install packages manually from the new install.

@fireodo yep, great job to all the developers. thanks

@gertjan
In that case apply the Last Resort option.

now i have to
it crash And no longer works

@internetxs I had some issues with my 5100 and wireguard. Decided to just do a fresh install of 21.02 (I had updated my 2.4.5p1). Since doing so, I've had no issues.

I tried it again with a copy of the original VM. Still the same error. Seems to be an incompatibility issue with Proxmox or their Bios.

Thank you for all the input.
"Network is unreachable" got me thinking of the GW settings. The FW have dual WAN with policy-based routing and the default GW was set to "Automatic".
After I manually selected a WAN interface as the default gateway, the FW managed to get information about the new 2.5 version.

Thanks for all the input and help!

You couldn't have, one of a couple things must have happened:

The USB stick didn't actually get written with 2.5.0 for one reason or another Your disk, if it's an SSD or similar media, has failed into a read-only mode and the writes from the installation didn't actually happen on the disk, so it's still running the previous version.

The second reason could also explain why the upgrade failed.

There are other potential causes but they all center around the hardware in the unit, not the installation image itself.

@teamits said in SG-1100 - No upgrade prompt:

@bmeeks This thread sounds like the issue you ran into in the (unrelated to this) Redmine update you just posted.

Yeah, sounds similar. I'm only working with my SG-1100 to help Netgate sort out a weird bug with Snort and Suricata on ARM hardware (specifically the SG-3100, but it may apply to the SG-1100 as well, so that's what I'm going to test with).

I just saw in "messages from the pfSense team" in Thread "pfSense Plus and SG-3100" that the missing packages are not a "fault".

As far as I understand, the pfSense team has removed the packages because 20.12 has a problems with nat on the SG-3100 (this is one of the problems I have with 20.12).

So I think with a fixed 20.12 the problem with the "no longer can check for updates" will automatically disappear as soon as the pfSense team will provide the fixed version.

@nollipfsense Truth.

Glad you got it sorted.

👻 This new version is now working and appears to be stable. I can now use pfBlockerNG without getting frequent Google Chrome certificate errors. And the Amazon app on my phone no longer crashes when pfBlockerNG is enabled. I had some initial issues out of the gate with NordVPN with this new upgrade. However, it was quickly resolved after a clean install of 2.5/ restored 2.4.5 config in 2.5 and unchecked "enable data encryption negotiation." in openvpn. I'm now with glee...Thanks Netgate for this new upgrade!!😁 😍 👻

@lnguyen I was planning on waiting based on some of what i read but wasn't sure if switching to the 'plus' series of pfsense required a full reload from usb. Thanks!

@bmeeks thanks! (I guess I should have been able to figure that out)

the packages from openvpn don't route to my ipsec, I dont't have any idea

I have reinstalled now and it seems to work better, so thread can be discarded.

@stephenw10 Opened a ticket with Netgate and they gave me the link to download 21.02 for a clean install. Recreated config by hand. Thanks for the help!
