      The config looks good. It installed all the packages. The only issue I saw importing it was I had to reboot to populate the aliases. On the first boot there were a number of alerts indicating they had not been populated yet.
      Is there anything specific you want me to test here?

        it would be good if the interfaces work and it doesn't crash :)

        what is the expected performance hit with the debugging still enabled ?

          Well it's been up for 20hrs without crashing but that's with no traffic. The interfaces look to be configured correctly but without your infrastructure connected to it I have no way to really test that.
          I guess maybe the VLAN_BEZOEKERSWIFI interface with the captive portal on it is the one you might most expect to have issues?

            i hope i won't have issues with the interface itself.
            i'm guessing there will be issues with CP ... that seems to be a trend ;)

            would it be possible to easily rollback using the zfs "snapshot"/boot environment thing that is builtin ? (in case of catastrophic failure during/after the upgrade)

            does it still handle >=1Gbit NAT with debugging enabled?

              Yes you can roll back from 23.01 to 22.05 using ZFS snaps.

              Yes it passes 1Gbps with the debugging options easily. Here's what the loading looks like when passing 940Mbps between L1_managementinterface and L3_WAN_TELENET0 (after adding an OBN rule):

                @stephenw10 ok thx for testing.

                will attempt to find an upgrade-window at the end of this week.
                hopefully i will not regret this.

                  @stephenw10 update went ok last night.

                  will monitor memory usage over the next couple of days. on 22.05 memory increased around 7% every schoolday

                    "wired" memory has increased only 0.8% from monday till thursday
                    will keep monitoring it over the next couple of weeks.

                    the huge memory leak appears to be fixed but perhaps it's a bit too soon to close the redmine ticket?

                      Nice. Yeah more data is better but that is very promising.

                      Add that to the ticket when you can.

                          Thanks!

                          I assume you're not seeing any other issues there? The captive portal is working as expected?

                          How many users is it seeing?

                            if there were major issues i would have been informed / yelled at ;)
                            have only briefly tested it myself

                            around 200-400 "simultaneous" portal logins - but idle timeout is set at 8 hours or something.
                            only student phones or other personal devices use the portal.
                            around 80-160GB of data per day go through the CP-vlan

                            staff/school-owned devices are on different vlans/ssid's
