      APU6B4 - pfSense+ (Plus) 23.05 RC since a half hour all
      is fine here, only three packages must be updated too,
      but this went automatically after the first reboot.
      (ACME, Snort and Squid)

      APU4D4 - pfSense 2.7 Devel runs like a charm since today.

        Upgraded went smoothly on my SG-1100. So far no issues. Enabled IPsec-MB also, seems to be working, though my firewall doesn't have the scale to see if this helped me at all.

        Thanks.

        SG-1100 24.03 (ZFS)

            Upgraded my 6100 MAX successfully. I did notice a bunch of errors in the install log watching the console, but I have not encountered any problems. The upgrade waa extremely fast coming from 23.01.

                @defenderllc Yep. The upgrade to 23.05.r.20230511.0600 was small, quick, and painless so far.

                    Upgraded my 6100 MAX from the first RC build to the new one. Upgrade time was less than 5 minutes.

                      Upgrade completed without errors. However, after reboot GUI reported Mem usage increased form 16% to 51%.
                      This on my Netgate 5100 4Mb RAM. After I did system Halt; and restarted mem usage is back to 17%.

                        Same. Mine usually hovers around 18% and now it's nearly double that.

                          That is quite normal. It happens because of the ZFS filesystem ARC cache. The upgrade does a LOT of filesystem work (completely unusual), and the ARC cache therefore grows alot as long as there is free memory to use. A restart clears the cache, and it will not happen again unless a new upgrade or some other anomaly causes massive filesystem work.

                          Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)

                            In my case, it spiked after a 2nd clean reboot and seems to be slowly returning back to normal (down 1% every 15 minutes or so).

                              The entire upgrade went fine without any problems
                              anymore.

                              RAM usage will be a little bit higher on 23.05 RC, but
                              not on 2.7 Devel, but often after a while it will be
                              splitting into 50% RAM and 50% swap usage.

                                This third RC version has been super stable so far…

                                  Updated to 23.05 RC and most sites were unreachable. What to do? Can't find the exact cause. When I rebooted to 23.01 everything was fine again.

                                  It looked like all ipv6 connections where terminated. But I don't have any weird rule that would cause this. Any suggestions where to look?

                                  I have a PPPoE ipv4 connections and using Use IPv4 connectivity as parent interface for setting up an IPv6 connection.

                                    @liudger Have you determined yet if this is a DNS issue?
                                    Can you ping any outside sites?

                                            @markster Sorry for the later reply. I can't ping ip certain ip's, but some websites work and some doesn't (doesn't make sense for me still). When I turn off pfblocker it doesn't make a difference.

                                            This site is still reachable for example.

                                            if I ping 8.8.8.8 I get this:

                                            Request timeout for icmp_seq 1

                                            What is the next step to trouble shoot?
