          I do Clouds and am not involved with pfsense much. But this upgrade has been a single disaster for me bc I lost my Snort in this, the paid one, and thats the only reason I went with Netgate/pfsense in the first place.

          I cant rollback because the tarballs for the 2.4.x have disappeared, I cant find them.

          So Im writing this product off as loss, wish it was managed with a more foresight instead of becoming the low-yield nuke that it is.

            If you open a ticket with Netgate they'll send you a firmware download. If you downgrade make sure to change the version in System/Upgrades before installing packages.

            Totally sympathize. With almost everything I wait a bit after release to see if there are issues.

            Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
            When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

              I feel your plight. That's why I keep backups of images.

                @teamits thank you. I did open a ticket and I was successful in loading the 2.4.5.1, and got my SNORT back....so I am very happy. thanks -

                    Just had the same issue on my sg-1100 about an hour ago. Didn't have time to retry the update. Has anyone come across any further info about this one? I'm just starting to search through the forums for ideas myself.

                    Thanks

                      I haven't had any more luck but I found this and I believe it may be related. I have a VM running 2.5.0 and unbound runs, but on the SG-1100 it won't even start and it looks like the version of unbound is different between those two.

                          Given the issues widely reported on the forum with 2.5.1, is there a release schedule for 2.5.2?

                            So it's not advisable to upgrade from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1?

                              @kevindd992002 if you have a multi-wan use case, you might want to read the posts from other users who have posted on it and specifically the fix not available via a patch.

                                I only have single WAN but I use an IPSec S2S connection that can serve as a gateway for some of my local traffic. Hopefully, that is not affected.

                                  I run OpenVPN on generic router box and had no issues with 2.5.x releases.
                                  I would assume that for Netgate SG-3100 issue it'd be addressed by Netgate guys quickly. Do we have a confirmed bug for this problem in the tracking system ?
