      This is the second release we are unable to use because the update process is broken since 23.01

      I have tried every combination of CLI and web based flipping between versions, but it's still broken.

      Our confidence in Netgate is decreasing and this is pushing us to look at other solutions for linking our office and cloud infrastructure

          Be careful.
          The very same 'ISO' "pfSense 23.01" has been used to init thousands of pfSense installs, and nearly all have left 23.01 to go to 23.05 or even 23.05.1 or whatever intermediate version.
          So, upgrading from an identical situation, works.

          And I'm of course very aware that "it doesn't work for all of us" as we all have to choice to set up our own pfSense 'as we want'.

          For example : the only difference between your system and mine is : the settings.
          And also : the hardware used - mine is a 4100.
          The uplink can also be a factor.

          What I want to say : whatever you change, you could bring the same situation with you.

          What I advise you to do : do the thing that works. Go TAC Netgate. Ask for a 23.05 or even a 23.05.1 IS. Burn it to a USB drive.
          Install.
          DO NOT ( !!!!) import your settings : just make WAN work - that's all !! NO "enter DNS IPs" no NAT or firewall rule stuff. Just a WAN, LAN and you.
          Now check that it shows upgrades.
          Do so if needed.
          Test basic operations.

          Now, import your"23.01" saved config.
          Test again.
          If it is broken again : you know where to find the issue ;) Mark your saved config as 'bad - don't use'
          And you know how to get rid of it.

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