      Just updated and pfblockerng-devel is not starting anymore.

          My error seems to have gone away. Reboot perhaps?

            @paoloest I have a suspicion that something is not getting set correctly by the install script from the browser because of a lack of a check for it, or, part of the installer page is not updated in browser (loaded from cache from a previous version)? Maybe try with another browser (one that has never connected to pfsense) or clear cache and cookies in browser? Just a thought.

              Per https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13950, will be fixed in v3.2.0_2.

              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.

                Out of curiosity….those having issues, did you uninstall pfblocker before the upgrade? If not make sure you do. You will avoid these issues.

                  nope, have not installed any package.

                  Deleted pfblockerng-devel and installed the non-devel, but no change. I hope for next version to fix this

                    @william-0 Unfortunately that is not the case.
                    I did my other firewalls, removed the package before upgrading and reinstalled afterwards.
                    Same issue.

                    Hope this will be resolved quickly

                      Did you happen to check for any short-form IPv6 addresses or VIPs in your environment? In my post above, it was the collapsed (::) format in some VIPs I had configured that the code didn't like. Expanding those to a full 8 segments resolved the issue for me.

                        @xpxp2002 I changed all CARP IPv6 address to full notation.
                        That did the job.

                        Although, I see pfBlockerNG inserts an incorrect formatted IPv6 address.
                        The leading double colon is correct, 2nd part of the address is dotted notation.

                          @dotone I have a fix for this now. Working on packaging this for the next version:

                          curl -o /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/BBcan177/b735258a1267995046aab45aeaedc210/raw"
