        What you really mean is : when will this package pfSense be upgraded ?
        Can be tomorrow. It could never happen ...
        You know, the game player of yesterday probably does something else today.

        So, nothing changed.
        Update the old fashioned way. As they, the TS3 authors do it.
        I'm pretty sure the entire "teamspeak server" directory respect the same directly structure as the original setup [ edit : I had a look : it's true ]

        Download the file from https://teamspeak.com/en/downloads/#server (take the FreeBSD 64 bit version), decompress it, and stash the files on the right place on your pfSense.
        To be sure, make a backup copy of the ini and other settings file already present.
        And go read the "release notes".

        A said, nothings changed.

        Btw : really ? Running TS3 on a firewall ? ☺

        edit : My Free licensed TS3 is still running. Yours has a problem ?

        edit again :
        My 'ts' in installed here :
        /usr/local/teamspeak/

        I entered my server (Debian 8.x - dedicated server) - I entered using SSH, being root
        Here we go :

        cd /usr/local/teamspeak/
ls -al
rm teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.10.2.tar.bz2
wget https://files.teamspeak-services.com/releases/server/3.12.1/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.12.1.tar.bz2
service ts3maria stop
 tar jxvf teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64-3.12.1.tar.bz2
rm /var/log/teamspeak/*
service ts3maria.sh start

        Line :

        1. went to my ts directory
        2. looked what was there : 2 bz2 files : the current running 3.11.0 and an older, spare backup version 3.10.2
        3. I removed de 3.10.2 version (always keep a, backup version - who says the new one is the better one ?)
          4 I downloaded the 3.12.0 - the link is copied from their down page (the linux 64bit version).
        4. Smart move : I stopped the running TS.
        5. Unpacked it - everything will get (over) written into /usr/local/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/
        6. While the service is stopped, and I have no incidents to debug to check that I recall, I wipe the - now ancient - log files in /var§log/teamspeak/ (otherwise they keep up eating space as TS3 does NOT support log rotation which is - IMHO - an extremely dangerous thing ) [ Note to myself : have to read the Release notes ^^ ]
        7. I fell lucky - and because this works well for the last several years now : I start TS. No checking , no log tailing

        A quick test using the my TS client shows me :

        c333f88f-7866-41d5-b541-bae7b0365267-image.png

        So version 3.12.1 seems to be up and running - I can connect. I've no mic neither speakers so can't be sure for 100 %, but I'm confident.

        Also : the main " _0 " log files confirms all is well :

          Don't get it, too, why everything has to run on the "security" device. Yeah yeah power consumption, ease of use, yada yada, may all be valid points but then why using pfSense in the first place as it's known, that it's a security appliance/distribution that hardly runs an all-in-one-solution. With devices like a Raspi 4 now even whopping 8GB RAM and still having minimal power usage, I simply don't get the drill to run everything on one device. Especially as running other things on sth. like a Raspberry makes it so much easier and nicer to compartmentalize and secure.

          Don't forget to upvote 👍 those who kindly offered their time and brainpower to help you!

          If you're interested, I'm available to discuss details of German-speaking paid support (for companies) if needed.

            @JeGr : Well, as you said, security. Remove that word, and all is fine ;)

              Some of the first couple of posts need to be updated but this still remains usable. Next update i do I'll type in the updated info.

              @Gertjan how did you get a NPL? been trying forever but they make the requirements so...., hell at this point I'd be happy if they pushed the free license to 64 people!

                how did you get a NPL

                It was some .... (to) many years ago. 512 users / 10 virtual servers.
                There was a condition were : having an domain name pointing to IP - and that the domain name was related to what could you could name a "game site". I was 'admin' of a big WoW these days (still am actually) so it wasn't hard.
