      @plfinch and why would look for something the page does not present.. That is moronic! To ask a website for some asset that has not been presented by the website..

      Maybe something with cache on the browser.. Looking for something was there before?

        Pfsense switched from ttf (2.5.2) to woff2 (2.6.0) fonts. Could be a cached file or something that happens during the upgrade process.

          I'm using the Brave browser and the pfSense-dark theme. The issue doesn't seem to happen for me in Auto Config Backup. So far, I'm only seeing it up to 15 minutes after a pfSense reboot. So, it's not very testable here.

          Again, I think this started with the fresh pfSense install of 2.6.0 (along with changing over to ZFS) and not with the "upgrade" to 22.1. So, I can't see how it could be anything left over from 2.5.2. Perhaps it's something to do with restoring the config file? (<-- EDIT: nope, I don't see anything in the config file).

          EDIT 2: and just in case, the only package I've got installed is pfBlockerNG-devel 3.1.0_1. I left it installed and turned on throughout the whole re-install/upgrade process and don't seem to be having any issue with it.

          I'm just a home user with pfSense 23.09-RELEASE (amd64) on a Protecli VP2410

            browser dependent. Reproducible with ipados Safari

            It sounds like they are sending different CSS for the different browsers and one didn't get updated for the font conversion. Upgrading presumably doesn't delete the old TTF files (since they are on my disk) so the font gets found, making it easier to sneak through testing. If it's reproducible you can open a report at https://redmine.pfsense.org/.

            I suppose deleting the TTF files could be a bonus report.

            re: caching, assuming they change the numbers on each release the "?v=1644251523" on the CSS URL should prevent the browser from using an old file.

            Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
            When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

              And where are these different CSS files at? I don't see them anywhere on pfsense - could you point them out to me..

              What is more likely is his browser has old css in its cache and isn't updating it.. Clear the cache on the browser.

              release the "?v=1644251523" on the CSS URL should prevent the browser from using an old file.

              You would think - but maybe the browser is freaking stupid ;) "ipados Safari " - so this on an ipad... I could try loading it from my ipad I guess. In his logs I didn't see the agent.. In mine you can see agent sent..

                I can confirm the issue is browser caching. I cannot reproduce in a Safari Private window. All good.

                  I cleared everything in my browser, rebooted pfSense and gone through all the menus. It's been four hours and the issue hasn't re-appeared. I guess browser cache must have been it.

                    @areckethennu hhahah - safari not really what I would call a good browser ;) I avoid it whenever I can.. I tried loading gui from my phone, wife was using the ipad - but its a work phone and they prevent loading profiles (bastards!).. so it wouldn't even let me load the gui because I use my own CA which said was untrusted - but no way to say I don't care load it anyway.. Stupid browser if you ask me ;)

                    firefox warns me - but gives me the option to visit anyway..

                      @johnpoz Just a side note: I'm using Brave, not Safari. But for whatever reason, the issue's gone away since clearing cache.

                        Yeah it would have to be the browser asking for that - because I can not find anywhere in current css where ttf is listed..
