      @imanrnm unfortunately, there is no easy way. You have to download the older version and install it. You should also have a backup of your configuration to restore from.
      I can see another post on your profile saying you've upgraded to 2.6.0, which is still in development and not recommended for production use.

        @0x00fe-0 Thank you for reply.
        yeah i updated to 2.6.0 and the problem is gone but there is other problems!
        for example my speed limiters aren't working now!

        i have a veeam backup from 3 days ago before update to 2.5.1, i will try to restore that and see what happens.

        all i know is that there is a real mess right now in my network because of a simple pfsense update and i will never again update my firewall right after they release it and will wait at least some days...

          we downgrade to 2.5.0, not perfect because of the openssl vulnerability.

          And no note in the known issues:

            Thanks God I found this post . I was going crazy .
            NAT is not broken but suddenly stop working in 2.5.1 .

            I must apologize to my certbot server since I'm requesting SSL like there is not tomorrow , and of course, my reverse proxy isn't happy !!!

            Any workaround ? not feeling to downgrade or go BETA

            cheers ,

              unfortunately there is no information about a 2.5.x / -px release.
              First time in over 10 years pfSense we can't upgrade the system.

                    No workaround or quick fix. See latest reply from Jim Pingle here: issue 11805
                    The issue seems to be "in kernel" so bummer, we need to wait it out.

                      UPDATE for: Jim Pingle

                      2.6.0 snapshots are currently working correctly, and the fix was checked into RELENG_2_5_0. Whatever release happens next will behave correctly either way (e.g. a 2.6.0 release or a 2.5.x point or patch release).

                        I have the same issue. We have nat rules on a multiwan configuration. Upgrading from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1 nat rules on wan1 works but those on wan2 are not working.

                        we had to restore from backup. :(

                          +1 here I have the same issue with multi-WAN ..

                          I was going nuts why my vpn wasnt working anymore... out of options I googled if it was a issue with 2.5.1..

                          well at least I can stop blaming myself :P

                            Think this was the fix.

                                since the kernel must be rebuild, no chance to fix this with the patch package.
                                We also wait for a new pfSense release since we have issues with this bug.

                                  @infosamu-it since netgate hasn't released the build tools, not much we can do but wait for the next release AFAIK. 2.6.0 is an option but there are a few issues with that I know of

                                  kernel panics #11839
                                  counters 0/0 #11775
                                  Also rate limiting seems broken as per another user. maybe related to #11775.

                                  pfsense fun!

                                    Any timeframe we can expect a fix to be released?
                                    Neither downgrade nor development version seems a great choice.

                                      I am also just a user who shares your pain, stuck on 2.5.1, any guesses will just be speculation at at this time.

                                            @vajonam This is not true netgate has released the right build tools. together with another user I was able build the new kernel and install and can confirm it fixes the problem. so we have to hurry up and wait for a p1 or some such release officially.

                                            For others interested.
