      I'm STILL down with the 21.02-RELEASE-p1.

      The best part is that NetGate isn't providing the 2.4.5 image for the ARM-based 3100.

      We're having to replace the firewall with a NON-NETGATE solution.

      Currently we are all having to use hotspots.

      This upgrade disaster is particularly bad with so many people exclusively working remotely.

        Pretty sure they will provide it, they gave me access within 15 minutes of requesting it.
        Edit: Also want to add that I've had no issues after upgrading to 21.02-p1, 2 days ago.

          Try the nCPU hotfix, this works for me stable.

          Edit: /boot/loader.conf
          Add: hw.ncpu=1
          reboot

            I've gone back to complete default after the patch upgrade and I'm able to get back online. It is effectively an expensive old school Linksys router at this point - but at least I'm online.

            I guess the next step is to go through each configuration item to see where to bugs are.

              How? I created a ticket specifically requesting it and they sent me the 2.5 patch link instead.
