      Apologies if this has been asked before, I have looked around and couldn't find an answer

      I am new to pfSense and love it, works perfectly in a VM on my HPE Microserver Gen10Plus and keeps my family safe.

      Can I rollback to stable after upgrading to development?

        Never mind. I backed up, rebuilt and restored so all is good.

          With a VM you can just Rollback with a snapshot.
          AFAIK there is no way in pfSense to jump back from 2.5 to 2.4.5

              Yes of course.
              At least before any major changes (like Upgrade to DEV versions) you should smash that Take a Snapshot button.

                Yeah, I agree but I failed to do so as I wasn't sure I would use the product permanently. Having played around a bit and got pfblockerNG up and running I have realised what a great solution it is and have decided to use it permanently.

                  You should, ideally, restore a backup from 2.4.5 as well. There were some changes to the config format for 2.5.0 that are not backward compatible (like IPsec tunnel lifetime settings)
