      Is there an option for mass patch update, config for packages? I remember I saw it somewhere in options.
      I have 24 Netgate boxes running pfSense and need some quicker way to update them and tweak things like pfblocker and etc.

        Woha! ⏪ What is a single man can handle 24 pfsense stuffs at same time ⁉
        Impressive to do it.For me is harder enough to manage 2 box 👿 and time run quick!
        I'm thinking to Widget Dashboard of 24 pFS would be nice to stay all in one same place, urgh.. really not, Tabs is already made, you need quick hands and much brain power!
        Good Luck 🦎 ✌

          @babiz I will probably get lots of lolz of an idea for mass updates which of course is risky but some central configuration dashboard to change firewall rulez, pfblocker, and other things would be nice. 1.5 year ago when I began learning firewalling and pfsense i remember I saw some option where one pfsense can push package configs to other pfsense. Now my searching doesn't bring any results.

            @pfrickroll , well I understanding, nice to read about, and agreed. Same here my adventures with firewalling world of pfSense began about three years ago 🦑 and is really cool discovering networking stuffs with simply power of Free BSD and PfSense.
            I'm loving it.

            So I know pfSense from 2013 but I'm not remember any specific options for managing many different configs at same time.

            Maybe if exsist in older Additional Packages software , in older days and maybe it's purged out for missing support ❓ ❓

            I dont'know, but at this time High Avail. Sync can support at least some basics stuffs if you can share between all your different setups like:
            ** System / High Availability Sync** configuration shows:
            User manager users and groups
            Authentication servers (e.g. LDAP, RADIUS)
            Certificate Authorities, Certificates, and Certificate Revocation Lists
            Firewall rules
            Firewall schedules
            Firewall aliases
            NAT configuration
            IPsec configuration
            OpenVPN configuration
            DHCP Server settings
            WoL Server settings
            Static Route configuration
            Load Balancer configuration
            Virtual IPs
            Traffic Shaper configuration
            Traffic Shaper Limiters configuration
            DNS Forwarder and DNS Resolver configurations
            Captive Portal

            This is a starting point, for me... I trust here in the Netgate forum some dude hold the answer for sure.
            I guess a kind of XMLRPC protocol "work" made by a custom php script for a possible approach but I'm not a programmer,
            I'm only a big fan 🕹
