      @stephenw10 Got it, thanks.
      If the GUI sets the branch, and I assume updates some configuration files.
      Are there a set of files that we can modify via the console, or symbolic links, that can manually set the branch version, so we can then issue pfSense-upgrade -U -d -y

      @stephenw10 IIRC the message about the missing /etc/hostid was the last message before the hang (I neglected to make a screenshot).

      Just make sure you have a backup of the config and you can always recover.

      @rac1503
      Sorry for late reply, but thanks to the last iOS update I see emails only just after rebooting the phone. (One may think that email is an anachronistic way of communication compared to modern messengers but it is annoying if it does not work.) However, fine, that you have solved your problem!

      @stephenw10 I see wireguard getting uninstalled in the logs following a reboot after config restore.

      Once reinstalled and rebooted it does remain installed.

      There isn't yet a newer public installer version but it should be available soon.

      The checksum difference is not a cause for concern IMO. It is curious though.

      Does it show the 24.11 branch in the dropdown selection? You have to select it in order to upgrade.

      @stephenw10 - I totally agree, but that is what originally pulled me into the thread. I wouldn't bother changing the thread title.

      I also think that my wear rate is actually slower so I expect the 1.5 year estimate to be more like 3 years.

      Syntax error upgrading from 24.03 to 24.11

      @Bly said in Syntax error upgrading from 24.03 to 24.11:

      Warning: syntax error on file /boot/loader.conf.lua
      if _ENV["smbios.system.maker"] == "Netgate" then
      ^

      Yes that's normal on a 3100. The 32bit loader doesn't support that lua code which is shared by all platforms. It shouldn't cause any issue beyond that cosmetic warning though.

      @roadrunner662 Open WRT is different from pfSense. Open WRT is dedicated access point software with limited firewall capabilities, and pfSense that is dedicated firewall software with limited AP capabilities. The Open WRT is very streamlined for AP use and software is smaller. Pfsense is a hypothetical tank and takes up more room. I run Open WRT on my AP and pfsense is on its own box. I don’t think you should run it on a layer 3 switch.

      @SteveITS

      I contacted support and they said I could only downgrade to 24.03 via the installer.

      I went back to 24.03 and it fixed my DHCP and SQUID problems. Turns out my VLAN issue was due to a new feature added in 24.03 and I've attached the excerpt for anyone else experiencing the same issues with VLAN giving firewall problems

      I couldn't connect to my VLANs with the following appearing in my logs

      VLAN123 Default deny rule IPv4 (1000000103)

      I could ping devices but that's all.

      "Beginning with pfSense Plus software version 24.03 and pfSense CE software version 2.8.0, the default configuration is explicitly set to an Interface-bound policy to enhance security. It appears that in your previous version, the default was configured as a Floating state type. You can read more details about this change here: https://www.netgate.com/blog/state-policy-default-change"

      Changing the Firewall State Policy to Floating States (System>Advanced>Firewall & NAT - Advanced Options) solved the VLAN problems for me.

      @stephenw10 Thank you for the reply and the pointer to the images. That is the area where I downloaded the images that worked.

      I don't have any logs as it didn't fail in the normal way. What happened is that it was almost like reflection was turned off with just no responses and the Package section just said unable to retrieve package.

      I'm leaning towards 'It must be me' Nobody else seems to have hit this issue and yet there is little that I could have done wrong.

      Originally a perfectly working system. I made a mistake and screwed it up because I was stupid and didn't follow my own rules. Lost the backups but as I document everything I had every setting that was needed as well as some config backups. Just a lot of typing.

      Copied Installer from site, wrote to USB drive. Booted. Following instructions as per normal. Connects to your site, as I'm using my CE version it sees I don't have a plus account and offers CE. Finishes and I reboot and configure the system again. Works OK but no incoming connections allowed which is the default which I change to PureNAT for my system. I then set up my DNS and DHCP entries, my firewall links etc. and at some stage during the config changes the external access fails and the Package Manager fails to update. Sometime it is quick and other times after I have restored it all. I originally used the backups, then selecting DNS etc. from the backups. At some stage it just stops.
      Installing from the base images it works fine. I installed 2.7.2 from that link you provided and have rebuilt it completely and it is fine.

      It makes no sense. However, I don't want to waste your time so I'm going to leave it as it is as I am now behind on some work I need to do. Let's put it down to user error and let's see what happens at the next upgrade.

      Thanks for your help.

      Thanks! @stephenw10 I was finally able to install pfSense using a USB-to-Ethernet adapter. The issue was that I had to install the missing realtek-re-kmod driver.

      Can you select an x86 CPU type there? It appears to offer other x86 parts for emulation.

      If you can then the amd64 image should work. Probably.

      No I don't think so. You were getting past the boot loader which is where that issue was.

      Reconecting the WAN Port solves the problem.
      I verified this on a Netgate 6100 and a Netgate 2100.
