pfSense 2.4.5 Now Available

tman222

Upgraded two pfSense boxes this afternoon from 2.4.4 P3 with no issues - one was a Supermicro 5018D-F8NT, the other a custom build based on an Intel i3-8100. The latter box actually had an uptime of 243 days - I was halfway tempted to wait until 245 days uptime and upgrade then...

Thanks everyone for all your hard work on this latest release and for making such a fantastically stable product.

2.4.4p3 squid com autenticação LDAP estava funcionando corretamente, após atualização para 2.4.5 fica solicitando usuário e senha, mesmo utilizando usuário e senha corretos. Servidor estava operando normalmente antes da atualização, configuração está correta, proxy em uso a muitos anos, sem erros em atualizações anteriores. Reinstalado pacote squid mas erro persiste. Tentei usar os mesmos parâmetros de integração ldap do squid em outro proxy, e apresenta o mesmo erro.

2.4.4p3 squid with LDAP authentication was working properly, after upgrading to 2.4.5 gets requesting user and password, even using correct user and password. Server was operating normally before the update, configuration is correct, proxy in use for many years, no errors in previous updates. Reinstalled squid package but error persists. I tried to use the same ldap integration parameters of squid in another proxy, and it presents the same error.

I upgrade six (6) pfsense production server at the same time from 2.4.4_p3, and I had problem with the conectivity. The ping time is very high until 5.000ms.

I tried upgrade with my pfsense server at home from 2.4.4_p3, but in this case I did a snapshot on vmware, and the problem is same. The ping time is very high and the navigation have a lot of problems.

I restored the snapshot, and all return to normally

@IsmaelPA this is MS latest update, you can talk to AD only with secure communication protocol like LDAPS

Upgraded yesterday. Exactly 37 minutes ago, at start of this hour, both of my VM upgraded to latest version started to consume CPU 35%-40%, connection started to swop from up to down, console not responding, web-console not loading.
Reverted to snapshot before upgrade, both VMs started to work normally.

@hmh No, this is not the problem... today before the update everyone was browsing normally, the problem occurred after the update. I'm doing exhaustive testing, squid+radius also does not navigate, only worked with local authentication.

We some problems reported by early adapters of 2.4.5 release, do you plan to release hot-fixes soon to people who is still waiting and not updating?

Thx

This is first time I see this issue and I have not changed anything.
Why now ?

I updated pfBlockerNG-devel to 2.2.5_30 only .

Maybe that's the reason. I am still on 2.4.4

The golden rule is :

Update first pfSense, if an update is available (not RC).
Then the packages ....

There is an update to pfSense, 2.4.5 - that should be done first.
Only then you can continue upgrading packages.

If not ......

@johnpoz noticed you are running pfBlockerNG-devel, would you mind posting your settings? Assuming you have not seen any of the issues reported in the topic below post upgrade to 2.4.5 -- that some have traced back to pfBlockerNG, unbound, pfctl or some combo thereof -- your setup may help provide workarounds for some (especially if running on netgate or other bare-metal servers).
