I see. Since my firewalls are really just for home use (not mission critical), can I just upgrade to the 2.6.x CE dev release to get all the latest updates? I know Christian McDonald is suggesting to do this.
-
Yes, I would do that. I have been running 2.6/22.01 on my primary router her for months now.
Obviously be sure to backup first and have a copy of the 2.5.2 installer on hand anyway.

And when 2.6 stable comes out, can I simply upgrade from dev to latest stable without any issues?
As for the pcscd patch that I just applied, I'm assuming I should just delete the entry after upgrading to dev (without reverting) as jim mentioned here, correct?
-
Yes and yes.

After updating, I got this crash report error right after logging into the GUI:
Crash report begins. Anonymous machine information: amd64 12.3-STABLE FreeBSD 12.3-STABLE devel-12-n226728-3672bd5377a pfSense Crash report details: PHP Errors: [27-Dec-2021 18:27:56 UTC] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'zmq.so' (tried: /usr/local/lib/php/20190902/zmq.so (Cannot open "/usr/local/lib/php/20190902/zmq.so"), /usr/local/lib/php/20190902/zmq.so.so (Cannot open "/usr/local/lib/php/20190902/zmq.so.so")) in Unknown on line 0 No FreeBSD crash data found.Is that pretty much expected with snapshots?

If it was during the update it could well have been since the library version may have been updated resulting in the wrong lib being present at some point.
As long as it doesn't return if you remove it a reboot you're fine.Steve

Yeah, it didn't show anymore after a reboot so I'm good. Although the upgrade to dev didn't really fix the latency issue, it seems to be better now and I'm still convinced that it's an ISP issue. I'm having a 24ms RTT to 8.8.8.8 now which is ideal but RTTsd is still erratic. What does a high RTTsd mean?
-
It means there's a large variation in ping round-trip times. Standard Deviation.
Steve
-
@stephenw10 Right, that I get. But does this usually to translate to an unstable Internet experience?
-
Probably not, it depends how high you are seeing. But, for exmaple, if all your pings are exactly 10.0ms and then you see one at 10.9 that's going to be a high deviation. You would not notice a 0.9ms change though.

Ok, then this is super insane, wouldn't you say?
-
It's certainly much larger than I would expect. Rttsd values are usually and order or mangnitune less than the actuall RTT time. Like:

Steve
-
Right now, I do. But that's probably because there was a recent submarine cable cut in SEA that our ISP is using. The latency problem, however, started happening way before that submarine cable cut issue. I tried using the mtr package and I see the same spikes after 100 pings to each hop.

Might just be how your link behaves then.
