User blocked! No more tickets allowed for this user - SG-1000 firmware request

[darkside]

So following the instructions here: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-1000/reinstall-pfsense.html
I've registered with netgate, and try to raise a ticket but when I submit it, I get the red notice saying:
User blocked! No more tickets allowed for this user

Is there another way I can get the firmware for the SG-1000 as its just kernel packing on 2.4.1-Beta at the moment?

[darkside]

This is the kernel panic from console, if its pertinent.

I'm sorry about that. Our ticket system hates that domain! I guess it gets a lot of spam from there.

I have unblocked you, please try again.

I would definitely install 2.4.5p1 clean rather than trying to upgrade from something that old even if it allowed you to try.

I've raised the ticket successfully this time. I have noticed some websites, like online recruitment sites dont like the domain name protonmail.com so maybe the Swiss take their privacy seriously, but as you use Google's captcha, I guess its becoming less effective for spam prevention when considering your comment on spam and knowing what AI could do 3 years ago.

Anyway thanks for the advice, maybe updating the message to something like "This account needs human intervention.." instead of "User Blocked!..." would be a less time consuming on everyones part?

[stephenw10]

I'm not sure we have that option but I'll look into it.

Well they flashed ok with that firmware. I did notice another one cited many failures (see below) when it went from 2.4.1. Beta to the latest firmware so I'll see how this one goes.

Errors like that are expected during an upgrade from a significantly older version. In this case because php was upgraded from 5.2 to 7 and during that time the old libraries are switched out.
That's one of the reasons a clean install is often better when coming from an old version.

If you're not seeing errors after the upgrade is complete though it's probably fine.
