      Jimp, You previously mentioned you have an internal redmine I know you can't tell me details about what is on it but can you say how many items is left? thanks

      No, because the number of issues does not reflect the complexity of the issues or the time it may take to resolve them.

      It will be ready when it is ready. Not a moment sooner.

        What exactly is the rush...

        How about the fact that there are 9 months of unpatched security vulnerabilities? Take a look a the output of pkg audit -F. 9 months is a really long time to get not a single security patch, especially for something meant to defend your network. Don't you think?

          That is a reason to produce an update, but it is not a reason to rush it out before it is ready.

            there any issues with this nic here

            Well both 2.4.5 and 2.5 out to test wtih... You could try those to see if works with whatever issue your having..

            But pfsense is a firewall/router - it doesn't care what packets your moving unless you block them... Nor does it manipulate them in any way other than NAT.. There 1000's if not 10s of thousands if not even 100s of thousands using pfsense with their streaming devices behind them.. If there was some issue, the boards would be lit up and on fire!!!

            I stream multiple services, I serve plex to public.. What specific issues are you having - the nic is not seen, it goes offline? Thinking an updating will fix some issue with your TV is able to stream data is very unlikely.

              Please correct me if my interpretation is wrong.

              1. There are 0 CVE's for the current pfsense version (2.4.4p3)
              2. Not all freebsd vulnerabilities are relevant to pfsense.
              3. The underlying freebsd is EOL for pfsense 2.4.4p3.
              4. 2.4.5 gets pfsense on freebsd 11.3 which is the 11.x stable version.
              5. 2.5.0 gets pfsense to freebsd 12.x (whatever is the stable .x version when the pfsense release is frozen)

              There are NO known vulnerabilities being exploited at this moment (2/24/2020). There is no valid reason to panic or whine.

              Of course it will be nice to get shiny new versions. New features and improvements. If you are really in a rush then setup a test environment and help test. Unfortunately, many of us we don't have a test environment and the current setup is mission critical (according to my wife and kids) so I will just wait politely.

                  Quote of the day my friend!! Look at his history - every single one of them has been when is X going to be out.. With zero reasoning for why he is in such a rush... Sorry but thinking moving to X version is going to fix whatever problem your having with your TV streaming is wishful at best.

                      At the moment I have 320 active VPN users.
                      So no, no upgrade for me.

                      But at home, well that`s another story :)
