      Just updated to 2.3.1-RELEASE from 2.2.6

      Now if I try to make any changes in System -> General Setup

      I get this error:

      The following input errors were detected:
      Each configured DNS server must have a unique IP address. Remove the duplicated IP.

      I have two WAN and each has both Google DNS servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 configured as backup.

      My assumption is that pfsense is wrongly seeing these as duplicates even though each WAN do not have duplicate DNS servers.

      I am using embedded system on APU1D

        That would have never worked right to begin with, you can't do that. The required static route can only exist on one WAN. The validation is correct.

          Put 8.8.8.8 on one WAN and 8.8.4.4 on the other.

            @Derelict:

            Put 8.8.8.8 on one WAN and 8.8.4.4 on the other.

            Has fixed it.

            Thanks.
