      @rcoleman-netgate I am currently running pfBlockerNG-devel as recommended by the book - Safer @ Home by Michael Lines

      Your recommendation is to uninstall and Reinstall.

      Question:
      how do you recommend I uninstall (process) I am extremely new to pfsense. This is the first product I have used that has removed my internet problems, to a virtual zero issues.
      I have experienced Cyber intrusion and related issues and a theft of data in the amount of 7TB of excess data charges.

        Through the package menu -- there's an uninstall button.

            @rcoleman-netgate There is a removal button in the Package Manager, I do not see an Uninstall method.
            In my understanding of past operations, there is a difference between the "Uninstall" and "Removal"
            I come from a MacOS experience where Removal, Uninstall and Move to Trash are very distinctly different operations.
            Sorry for any confusion.
            Also I am extremely new to pfsense (2022-04-20)

                  upgraded to 22.05 on my Netgate 2100 MAX, rebooted and now no internet

                  You rebooted or it rebooted itself? Upgrades will reboot automatically but it can take 10+ minutes sometimes, just wait it out.

                  tried pfsense ping

                  You can't ping the pfSense or the pfSense can't ping out to the Internet?

                  LAN should not have a gateway, only WAN.

                  2001:56a:f1e1:c500:92ec:77ff:fe20:724

                  The IPv4 is a private IP, do you have another router in front of your pfSense? Can you ping that router?

                  Can you ping using IPv6? In Windows:
                  ping -6 ipv6.google.com
                  or
                  ping -6 2607:f8b0:4009:81b::200e

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

                    @steveits Thanks for the reply.... I had to reconnect old router so they can do some work, old router works as expected.

                    I will reply in a bit when everyone goes to lunch i will switch over to Netgate again and troubleshoot

                    After the upgrade it rebooted itself. I lost connectivity drove to the office(45 mins) and it was up, but could not get to the internet.

                    I'll reply again in a bit
                    Thanks..

                      @rcoleman-netgate OK we are on the same page.
                      Thanks for the reference.
                      I removed the Package and Re-Installed the PFBlocker.
                      Now the CPU Usage is moving from 15% to 26% this is somewhat more normal from my observations.

                            @robmontreal The pending status is probably because it can't ping the gateway either (?). In System/Routing you can edit the gateway and check "Disable Gateway Monitoring" but that's a bit of a hack. Does the ISP router normally respond to pings?

                            Is your WAN DHCP?

                              @steveits Hey Steve, i do not think my isp router normally responds to ping, i would have to reconnect the old router to check as everything works with old router.

                              My WAN is DHCP.
                              The pending was because i had the wan disconnected, my bad... it shows good now....
                              Can i provide more screen shots for you?

                              Thanks..

                                @robmontreal OK so that's a public IP at least. If you can't ping the .1 gateway then either that gateway doesn't respond to pings, or there's some weird routing going on, or there's a firewall rule blocking your ping, etc. That shot shows the gateway online though so it seems like the monitoring did ping it...

                                Is anything set in System/Routing/Static Routes?

                                  @steveits Ok, so I can ping the gateway just to confirm.

                                  Nothing in static routes, its empty.

                                  This is getting weird.

                                    tracert 8.8.4.4

                                    and see how far you get. If you can get to the gateway it ought to be working.

                                    It's not a DNS issue is it?

                                        @steveits Is it easy to revert back to 22.01 version?

                                        This issue is getting annoying... :)

                                          @robmontreal You can reinstall:

                                          192.168.0.1 is the LAN of your pfSense? It sounds like it doesn't want to route out. Does Diagnostics/Routes show a default route? Yet, the gateway is pingable...which might make sense if there is no default route.

                                          Does System/Routing have a default gateway set? (black globe icon)
