      No issues here. From 2.6.0RC to 2.6.0 to 22.01.
      Using pfBlockerNG-devel, Wireguard, OpenVPN, IPSec, 2 WANs, 5 LAN interfaces, Hybrid NAT on VMware ESXi and dedicated hw (Supermicro SYS E200-8D, SYS E50-9AP-N5).

          NAT not working inbound on non-standard ports and update check fails. NAT between VLANS not working.

            Hi,

            I updated a ZOTAC ZBOX CI325 nano Mini PC (the ones with the re0 NICs) from 2.5.2 > 2.6.0. Everything went well except that my Wireguard tunnels didn't come up automatically. I had to perform a reboot of the box as a restart of the tunnels from VPV>Wireguard did not bring them up.

              Upgraded to 2.6.0 with no glitch, very smooth process this time!

              Stopped short to do => 22.01 upgrade.
              The main reason I am not sure why I should do it.

              Wonder what other users do/think?

              Note - I am thinking to get a Nergate appliance just to support them, so far did not find a good option for my 4 port custom I5 mini PC replacement.

                @bob-dig What sort of problems? Slow WAN? I updated to 2.6 on Hyper-V (2022) and WAN speeds tanked (2Mb/1Mb down from 1Gb/200Mb). Unusably slow after an in-place upgrade or vanilla install. LAN speeds are normal.

                  @boelter WAN-Speed is ok for me (full 250 MBits/s), inter (V)Lan communication is not usable. But someone else seems to have your problem, see here.

                  @boelter said in To 2.6.0 and => 22.01 or not ? that is the question :):

                  or vanilla install.

                  Good to know, thanks.

                    @boelter It's probably not your case, but I checked WAN speed on the wired box and a Windows VM on 1GB fiber and it seems actually better on 2.6.0
                    FYI

                        Just went from 2.5.latest to 2.6.0 then 22.01with no apparent issues.

                        Hardware is a Dell Optiplex Desktop with a 1TB SSD (it's what I had at the time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so... )

                        Other than forgetting to input my GELI password on the console during reboot it went fast and smooth.

                        ZFS widget is nifty!

                        Bunch of packages:

                        Name Version
                        acme 0.6.10_1
                        arping 1.2.2_2
                        arpwatch 0.2.0_6
                        Backup 0.5_6

                        Filer 0.60.6_5
                        iperf 3.0.2_5
                        mtr-nox11 0.85.6_2

                        pfBlockerNG 2.1.4_26

                        WireGuard 0.1.6_1

                        Wireguard was actually installed after upgrade.

                        Houston, everything appears nominal...

                          Finally did 2.6.0 => 22.01 with no issues :)

                          I am still "afraid" to switch to ZFS, need to become brave and bite the bullet.

                            Hmmm, missing an indicator on the ZFS widget for individual filesystems that are RAM based. You know, non-critical ones like /var... Did I miss something?

                              On the dashboard page, scroll down to "Disks" and click the ">/" icon. You should see /tmp and /var using filesystem tmpfs.

                                @bpsdtzpw I have a ZFS root, what "Disks" section?

                                Here's my "zfs list":

                                  The Disks widget is separate:

                                    @stephenw10 OK I found the disks widget, for some reason it disappeared off my dashboard during the upgrade. Weird.

                                    Why on earth would you NOT include basically the output of “zfs list” in the ZFS widget? I’m a ZFS fan, don’t mind me… :-)

                                      Well it basically shows 'zpool status'. Feature requests welcome. 😉

                                            It's inside the System Information section, at the bottom of the column, not separate.

                                            When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
