      Hi, after updating to the community version 2.8.1, I’ve been experiencing frequent state table issues where it becomes stuck, causing pings from pfSense to fail—meanwhile, some LAN services, such as Discord, still function. Additionally, the manager process keeps locking the update mechanism, which prevents pfSense from checking for updates.

        How much memory does your system have? The state table size is a function of memory.

          What are you actually seeing that makes you think the state table is not being updated?

            @WN1X said in State table gets stuck after the update:

            Yes but it's changeable: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/config/advanced-firewall-nat.html#firewall-maximum-states

            I was also going to ask about OP's conclusion. And what is "the manager process"?

            Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
            When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

              I imagine the package manager. Since both that and the Upgrade process use pkg-static update and are mutually exclusive.
