      Ever since I upgraded to pfSense 2.5, I cannot recall seeing one single new package update when looking at my package list. I used to get new packages updates at least once a month or so. I have the following installed - and just wanted to see if any of these packages received an update recently or were there really no updates:

      Avahi 2.1_1
      ntopng 0.8.13_10
      openvon-client-export 1.6
      pfBlockerNG-devel 3.0.0_16
      Status_Traffic_Totals 2.3.2_2
      suricata 6.0.0_10
      Telegraf 0.9_5

        I show the openvpn client export as 1.6_1

        pfblocker same, and traffic totals same as you listed. I am running 21.05.. Not running any of those other packages.

          pkg upgrade
          

          from shell.

                Ever since I upgraded to pfSense 2.5

                Meanwhile, 2.5.1 CE saw the light.
                And most probably 2.5.2 CE is coming up in a couple of days.

                And true, my list is also pretty stable.

                acme 				0.6.9_3 	
                arpwatch 			0.2.0_4 	
                Avahi 				2.1_1 	
                Backup 				0.5_5 	
                Cron 				0.3.7_5 	
                freeradius3 			0.15.7_30 	
                Notes 				0.2.9_3 	
                nut 				2.7.4_8 	
                openvpn-client-export	 	1.6 	
                pfBlockerNG-devel 		3.0.0_16 	
                Shellcmd 			1.0.5_2 	
                System_Patches 			1.2_5
                

                No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                Edit : and where are the logs ??

                  @gertjan Yup I am on 2.5.1 - just saying since 2.5 I have not really seen as many package updates as I used to. Seems like the updates are just slow - nothing is broken, thanks for pitching in.
