      @stephenw10 disabling/removing the watchdog didn't work. It seems I made the mistake of not removing pfblockerng and specifically suricata before i upgraded. when i subsequently removed both packages, the suricata still showed in the installed packages with a red exclamation mark. When I try to reinstall it though, it gets stuck on "installing snort rules", however, if you open a new window and check the status on suricata it shows the rules having been successfully updated

        So it did upgrade successfully with those packages removed?

          @stephenw10 still having some issues getting wireguard to start, pfblocker and suricata. but definitely should have removed them before the upgrade i think

            I wouldn't expect to need to but it will take a lot longer to upgrade with them in place.

              @stephenw10 looks like may actually be issue with pfblockerng in the new build

                  Yup almost certainly that is generating that error.

                  But that shouldn't prevent upgrading. Or running pfBlocker in 24.03. It only happens if you try to edit a list.

                    I tried a couple of methods i get

                    • does not aply cleanly

                      The default settings there should work:

                            @stephenw10 Static DHCP entries are not resolving. Upon checking the ui for DNS Resolver, there is no longer the checkbox for "DHCP Registration" and "Static DHCP"

                              @JonathanLee misdirection. I already posted what the root cause was. everything is working now, except Static DHCP registrations in the DNS Resolver - checkbox is missing now

                                You mean these :

                                I'm using 24.03, and I see them.

                                Probably because :
