      We have released an updated BETA of the Netgate Installer for pfSense software. The installer is designed to simplify the installation process for both pfSense Plus and pfSense CE. The following is a complete list of changes since the last public BETA:

      • Correct use of the netmask to calculate and match the necessary IP Settings (gateway, dhcpd range).
      • LAN and WAN static IP settings are now verified in order to disallow overlapping networks.
      • PPPoE is now supported on the WAN interface.
      • CE repositories can be displayed even if a Plus subscription is available (there is an option under the 'Advanced Settings' option to enable this - defaults to disabled.)
      • The connectivity test has been changed to not depend on ICMP or NTP sync. The installer still attempts to sync the system clock with NTP but a failure will not abort the installation.
      • Reduced the differences between the ISO and IMG formats, which are now essentially the same.
      • The Configuration Restore dialog has changed and is now on the initial menu. Once a configuration file is selected to be restored the installation proceeds.
      • The selected configuration (or new, blank default) is now logged on the installation log.
      • If necessary, the LAN interface can be unassigned on Netgate devices.
      • The u-boot bootloader on the 1100 will be automatically upgraded when necessary. This is mandatory to support ZFS on the 1100 system.
      • There are several small changes to the UI (texts/menus/buttons) to improve UX
      • Unbound is now presented as an option to use as a 'local resolver' for the WAN. This option can be enabled if necessary; the default is disabled.

      Please note that an Internet connection is required to use the Netgate installer.
