@furom After clean install and reverting my config I'm seeing another crash.

Sorry to hear that. I did open a ticket to TAC support who also recommended me to reflash my unit. I also sent them my upgrade log, which looks horrible to say the least. I hope it helps them understand whats going on. I will tell them it is unlikely going to fix my issue then. Thanks for letting me know :)

@furom I did also open a support ticket. Will keep you up to date aswell.

@furom OK got a workaround for my problem that the crash happens when hitting "save" on DHCP Server tab. Using the console to edit the interface IP address (for any interface DHCP Server is running on, in my case I did chose LAN) and entering the same settings, saving it and restart webconfigurator. After that I can use the WebGUI and save the DHCP Server without any crash.

@mrsunfire Good one! Apparently PHP 8.1 is a lot stricter than v 7.x that was before. I'll still waiting for support to come back with some suggestion. It'll sort itself I suppose. Have a good one! :)

Nice. If you can check the config history after doing that to see what is added. It will almost certainly be populating or creating some tags that are otherwise missing from your config for some reason.

It did populate. But this was on 22.05 prior to my last upgrade attempt

That’s on the package install? I got that too, at least it looks the same without walking upstairs:) but no issues after that I’ve found yet.

That should be fixed in the currently available package:
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13950

[23.01-RELEASE][admin@4100.stevew.lan]/root: pkg search pfBlocker
pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG-3.2.0_2 pfSense package pfBlockerNG
pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG-devel-3.2.0_2 pfSense package pfBlockerNG

Good to know, but 3.2.0_2 is not available yet, even though it was "announced" three days ago. :)

Edit:
Shell Output - pkg search pfBlocker
pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG-3.2.0_1 pfSense package pfBlockerNG
pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG-devel-3.2.0_1 pfSense package pfBlockerNG

Another edit: Redmine shows "Waiting on Merge"

Yup, sorry, I tested from a box that is using our internal repo. Since it has been built and is there now it's probably only a matter of syncing them.
