        If you pull 2.4.5 packages into 2.4.4 it will almost certainly break stuff.

          Whole procedure takes me about 10-15 minutes (from working 2.4.5 to working 2.4.4)

          @Kartoff Where did you find the stable version of 2.4.4 p-3 to download from. I am unable to find that version online.

              Google "pfSense-CE-memstick-2.4.4-RELEASE-p3-amd64" :) I also had trouble to find it and this is what i search when i manage to find some places where i can download from...

                I used 2.4.5 for 2-3 days until it becomes urgent to go back to 2.4.4-p3...

                (Usually I use KVM console on my Cisco UCS but this time I didn't)

                So what I did :

                • Make USB with 2.4.4-p3 and boot from it...

                • When it boots and started installation, ask me to point a drive where the existing config file is, so I did it...

                • It completed installation for a few minutes and reboot...

                • After boot complete all was how it is ment to be :)

                Whole procedure takes me about 10-15 minutes (from working 2.4.5 to working 2.4.4)

                Do NOT forget to change the repo to the 2.4.4 release!
                This is necessary to avoid installation of 2.4.5 packages.
                If not you will have a lot of fun...

                  To circle back on the original topic, the cause of my issues was not pfSense 2.4.5. It was a new firmware that took effect on reboot of my 10Gbit Ubiquiti switch. Switching back to the original firmware resolved my issue. pfSense was not blame at all, and I have since upgraded to 2.4.5 and it has been very stable for me. I had forgotten that I had queued the new switch firmware several months ago, user error as usual.

                  The pfSense support team was proactive in opening a ticket for me, and sending me a link to the 2.4.4-p3 software, along with the very comprehensive downgrade instructions. I was very impressed with the support response.

                  Thank you everyone for your suggestions.
