      Each time I update pfBlocker NG, I lose WAN access until I reroot pfSense.

      Is this a normal behavior? Should I do something else ?

        @ninthwave Disable pfblockerNG before doing update.
        Restart Resolver from Services > Tab may bring back internet.
        Monitor Systems logs and pfblockerng logs to find out what is done.

        2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
        Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz 8GB

          Will try that on next update.

          I just expected that the "update button" did stop it prior to updating.

            re: unbound not starting:

            and
            https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11398
            Short answer: check and start unbound (DNS Resolver) after updating pfBlocker. I've had it start unbound sometimes but other times it is left stopped.

            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.

              Disabling the package prior updating did the job.
