      After in-place upgrading to 2.4.4. I lost access to the internet. I am running in a VM so I restored the previous version I was running (2.4.2).

      Below are the boot-up logs for 2.4.4 (masked out IP addresses with xxx). Anyone have any suggestions on what may be wrong? On the dashboard, the WAN and LAN interfaces are green; but even PFSense can't reach the internet (packages can be retrieved or updated; pings timeout). I temporarily disabled the firewall and that did not correct anything so I am assuming something else is broken in the configuration.

      I tried restoring the config from 2.4.2 but it didn't help (again no internet; packages failed to update).

        Looks like there were some disabled gateways that I am guessing were being applied. I deleted them and the internet came back.

        Probably similar to this issue:
