Is there a tutorial for switching to KEA?
-
Hello to the team,
Do you have a tutorial for switching to "KEA" with "pfBlockerNG" installed?
I don't dare go it alone.

You've forgot the most important feature of pfSense
Remember the daily back up you've been making ?
This one :
You can use it !!
If you don't know how to get back (undo what you've done), just import the latest backup and you're back at level 1.
It's that easy. -
yes, yes, I know ... but it still makes me sweat if something goes wrong .... I have pfsense which works so well. My fear is that it won't start and I'm less experienced with “console mode”.

@SwissSteph KEA has nothing to do with pfBlocker. And it is just one button to activate it... At least on plus it should just work.
-
backups, who needs them just go for it
raw dogg it!!
LEROY JENKINS!

@Bob-Dig
yes-yes a single button. But I was afraid that some of pfblockerNG's settings might get stuck at some point. -
Shouldn't cause any issues for pfBlocker.
Yes it's just one button. And it's also just one button to switch back if it tuns out you have something that doesn't play nicely with Kea yet.

...it's done .... I dared -
thank you for your answers and motivations !

Your scenario should be pretty basic and easy to switch with just that one option.
For the benefit of others reading this thread based on the title, I should point out that the High Availability (HA) case is not simple. Because that is more involved, we do have a recipe for converting a High Availability setup from ISC to Kea DHCP:

Yes, very simple. I'm on “KEA” now and everything's OK
