      Hello,
      I was reading the doc here https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/backup/restoring-a-pfsense-configuration-to-a-different-version.html
      I'd like to know if it's possible to restore the configuration from a 2.1.2. pfsense to a 2.4.4 pfsense.
      Kindest Regards.

        Yes. You can always restore a configuration from an older version to a newer version. There is upgrade code that will adjust the configuration to the newer formats.

        You can't go backward, however.
