      A netgate partner recommended me to go back to 2.5.2 saying there were some incompatibilities with the new version of freebsd and hyper-v...

        Yes, that thread I pointed to. The RSC support added in the FreeBSD hn(4) driver had a pretty large bug! https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12873

        It's fixed now in 22.05 and 2.7 snapshots.

          I'm running an old version of Hyper-V. I have a 2012 R2 cluster. As far as I understood, that doesn't apply to me. I'm not in a good situation at all here...lol

            Ah, maybe. You could be hitting some other issue I'm not aware of then....

              After the rollback to 2.5.2 I'll let you know what happened.

                  Hmm, OK. And that was a clean 2.5.2 install with the configs restored?

                  Are you able to snapshot that and test the upgrade again? Or even test a 2.7 snap?

                    Usually if something stops after applying changes it's because you have the option enabled to kill states when a gateway is down and a gateway is down. Check under System > Advanced on the Misc tab to see if that option is enabled.

                    It takes a while for your browser to realize the state is gone and make a new connection.

                    If you try again, check the gateway status to see if maybe one of the gateways is showing as down on the newer version where it didn't on the older one.

                      It's a clean install with the config restored.
                      At least for now I'm not going to do further tests with it. I had too much trouble. I'm gonna rest for a bit.

                        I came across a post talking about this option. My configuration already had it disabled.
