      I don't know if this is a problem with pfBlockerNG-devel 3.2.0 or FreeBSD 14, but seems like it is a side effect of the latter.

      On Netgate 6100 and with 22.05-RELEASE Firewall/pfBlockerNG/Update Force Reload works fast (pfBlockerNG-devel 3.1.0_11), but with 23.01-RC it takes hours to complete. Actually I didn't have patience to wait for it to complete and went back to 22.05-RELEASE.

        @pfsjap Can't confirm this for me.

        Netgate 6100 MAX

          @mrsunfire For you the performance is about the same as in 22.05?

              @mrsunfire Ok, thanks. Will try again and this time also take times for reload with 22.05 and 23.1.

                @mrsunfire Now on 22.05 force reload takes about 8 minutes, but on 23.1 I haven't had a chance to get timing yet, because after upgrade and package post-install scripts pfBlocker is still downloading feeds.

                Does this seem normal to you, processing of this single feed taking about 10 minutes?

                  @pfsjap try turning off wildcard/TLD option:

                  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.

                    @steveits I don't have wildcard TLD option enabled, but applied the patch.

                    The cron job is still running and there is no clean way to stop it. Can I just kill it or would it be better to reboot?
