      @MaxK-0 Yea, it's an overflow caused by PHP limitations on 32bit platforms. It's cosmetic, but is something we should fix. Internally pf(4) stores counters as uint64. However, PHP on 32bit can only represent integers up to 2,147,483,647.

            @johnpoz I was thinking about that but couldn't tell my wife, with a straight face, that I needed to upgrade because of an 32 bit integer overflow display problem (she worked in IT too). On a side note, I was able to supercharge my car by telling her I needed an "active induction system" - she heard "astro projection system." :-)

                Seems like a perfectly good reason IT to upgrade!

                Interesting this bug didn't seem to be an issue on 23.01...? a4de1144-9f08-4399-b253-a8d4ef540e1b-image.png

                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 reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

                  I would pay a small fortune for that one : coming home, put on the friendly and puzzled face, and ask : honey, can you take care of the overflow issue ?

                  edit :
                  4100 using 23.05 :

                  IPv6 takes the lead !

                  No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                  Edit : and where are the logs ??

                        Yes, I didn't specify that, did I. You made me check again though since we have a few routers in our office...make sure I connected to the right one yesterday. :) (tip: colored login page backgrounds)

                            In your next team meeting point out most video drivers now can show 16 million. #a3bd44 and #a3bd43 are different after all. ;)

                            Perhaps a checkbox to show the router hostname on the login screen?

                            But I digress…

                                “Show hostname on login banner”
                                Oh hey look at that. 🙄
