        The PHP core dump on SG-3100 with some packages is not listed as a known issue but presumably still exists...

        Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

          Was encouraged buy quick feedback and went for it too :)

          My updated was fast and smooth.

          But I still see a minor unbound oddness, when after reboot DNS did not seem to be resolving well, even tho no apparent error and service shows as green. Unbound restart fixed this.

          I notice the same on version 2.5.0. I haven't upgrade to 2.5.1 yet. But I use Watchdog now, so it helps after a reboot most of the time :)

            My setup is 2x WANs, 1x LAN. After upgrade from 2.5 to 2.5.1 port forwarding stoped working on non default WAN2.
            The strange thing is that in 2.5 in my setup, port forwardings on both WANs were working just fine.

            In 21.02.2/2.5.1 New Features and Changes there is a fix:
            Fixed: State matching problem with reponses to packets arriving on non-default WANs #11436
            which in my case did the opposite :) Broke working setup.

              If you use one of the three packages known to be impacted by that bug (Suricata, Snort or pfBlockerNG-devel), and having one or more of those packages running is critical for you, I would suggest not updating yet. To the best of my knowledge no work has been done on the PHP crashing issue on ARM 32-bit hardware.

                    Upgrade went smooth on my pfsense CE. I am running several VPN clients tunnels with routing groups and so far all is working well.

                          Same here, but a quick reinstall fixed it.

                          EDIT - Whoops, stopped.

                          EDIT, EDIT... Rolled back to 2.5.0, iperf still doesn't start. So there's that... ๐Ÿคท

                            I just updated to 2.5.1.
                            Some issues here. I have a Plex Server running on another computer. I have VPN running on that one with port-forward and policy routing. The port-forward doesn't work anymore. But the computer can still access Internet with the VPN.
                            But the only thing that doesn't work is the port-forward :(

                            Another issue is the DNS Resolver. After reboot of the firewall, i don't have access to internet. Only the computers that have static IP on the interface. I cant access any device using the dns. I have to restart unbound. After that i can access computers with the dns.

                            The DNS problems was on version 2.5.0 also but not the port-forward problem.
                            The DNS problems seems to appear when i have multiple VPN Client running. It could be some bad configuration from my side, but it has always worked on version 2.4.5. It starts on version 2.5.0.

                            So, i'm planing to move back to 2.5.0 or even 2.4.5p1 (not sure when)
                            To bad i can't run my Plex Server anymore with VPN and port-forward(so my plex server is online and accessible outside my network)

                              Hi! Your post triggered me to check if my port forwards my VPN clients were working and they are not :(. Reconnecting the VPN's and even rebooting pfSense does not fix this. Looks like port forwarding on OpenVPN interfaces is broken.

                              I will try and do more testing later on. WFH so I can't break the internet for now.

                                        Thanks, it don't stuck here. I got that 5 times in dmesg with my SSD and after changing to HDD it comes also 5 times ... but boot is not affected.

                                          After 2.5.1 my port forwards are not working.
                                          They were fine at 2.4.5 and 2.5.0.
