      Ok, thanks for the feedback.

      AFAIK, the pfSense Packet Manager offers today, for me pfBlockerng-devel version 3.2.0_10 - the _12 has not been released yet. It is in the works, though.

      If you remove / de install this _12 version and _12 is proposed upon install again, consider your system 'not well'.
      As stated above, as you have ZFS, roll back to a more stable situation - the real pfSense '24.03'.
      See it like this : you don't want Microsoft 11 updates if you have Windows 10 installed, that will break your system.

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

        However low the probability that's the only explanation I can think of. However it was selected though if 3.2.0_12 was available then other, incompatible, pkgs likely were and could have been pulled in when you tried to update pfBlocker.

            That's in a different function though, executing a command rather than creating config. Did it happen when you were doing something specific?

              @stephenw10 Not really, actually after the crash php-fpm was going crazy and fully utilizing the CPU to 100% till i rebooted.
              After that i removed pfblocker, and been working stable since then.

                    Hmm, I can only assume it was part of pfBlockers auto-update process then. Is that set to run around that time?

                      Chiming in; I'm also getting same error in title on a 2100 after selecting to upgrade pfSenseBlockerNG to ver. 3.2.0_13

                      Eventually, I did a hard reset. I'm able to get back to the Setup Wizard. I removed packages for snort, wireguard, IPsec but removing blockerNG is a no-go.

                      Also I crashed with: 50x error

                      From package Manager, it hangs on 'reinstall BlockerNG' here:

                        Hmm, how did you get the _13 pkg version? Did you select 24.08-dev at some point?

                        I would uninstall it entirely and then install it clean.

                          @stephenw10 That version was available on my status page, and in Package manager, so I selected to (upgrade). That was super late Monday night / Tues after midnight. I usually check the status page every day and there was 4 or 5 updates that night, which is very unusual.

                            Hmm that should never have been available in 24.03 AFAIK. 3.2.0_10 is current version of the package in 24.03.

                            I would remove it entirely and then install it again clean.

                                You also switched to 24.08?

                                If so remove it. Switch the branch back to 24.03 and reinstall 3.2.0_10.

                                    @incith The same has happened to me. The web UI is completely unresponsive; I rebooted and after another 15 minute timeout the console login prompt showed up. PHP is using 100% of the cpu. I tried reverting back to backup #5 (the one that was autocreated before updating pfblockerNG), then rebooting. No change; it’s as if it didn’t restore from the earlier backup at all. I’m now attempting to deinstall pfblockerNG from the command line and it’s been stuck at “loading package instructions” for many minutes.

                                      Yep, that's what I saw ....
                                      Interrupting it after 'PHP' staying at 100 % for half on hours or so, and still blocked on “loading package instructions”, pfSense started, to use a previous ZFS ! (I use Plus), so the GUI cert was to old, and because stupid me was using SHTS certs .... :( so locked out nicely.
                                      SSH and console was still ok.
                                      The previous ZFS was based upon the original 24.03 and 24.03_1 was available, so ok lets upgrade ... but no, that re installs packages also so when it reaches pfBlockerng ..... blocked again.
                                      Nice rabbit hole.

                                      De-installed pfBlockerng for the moment.

                                        similar experience going from _08 to _15 on 2.7.2 CE edition... can no longer get to \status\dashboard menu also, and uninstalling pfblockerng from package manager is unresponsive.

                                        in the meantime internet access and other menus continue to work...

                                        what is the best resolution out there at this moment please?
