      I went one step further with my backup/recovery solution.

      Every couple of days I'm doing a complete clone of the ssd the I have pfsense installed on but also keeping a pfsense install usb handy just as another recovery method in case the ssd image fails to apply or something.

        @nrgia But, that's exactly what he wants to do (production mode for home network) and with the proper safeguards mentioned as well as in place, we should encourage him. I find 2.6 to be very stable despite the few bugs to work out.

        I think you misunderstood me. I'm not trying to scare anybody away. But first, just to play it safe, it's good to test your use case on different machine, beeing bare metal or VM. And if it works, then you can upgrade the production one too. At least this is my approach. The backups are also a good thing, but sometimes even a little bit of downtime can cause troubles, why not avoid it?

            If you didn't notice already starting from today 13/01/2022 my 2.6.0-DEVELOPMENT updated to 2.7.0-DEVELOPMENT.

            How about that?

            Nevermind I saw the discussion here:

              Look at that...my intuition was right on about a 2.6 release 29days ago...

                Howdy there,

                It's been a long time since I've been here, what do you hear about 2.6(?)

                in addition to this:
                https://redmine.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/roadmap#2.6.0

                postponing the rebuilding of the home pfS box waiting for the miracle

                BTW:
                I'm not that excited, because I haven't had much time lately ๐Ÿ˜‰

                Cats bury it so they can't see it!

                  @daddygo I am currently running pfSense v2.6RC in production mode...upgraded this pass Monday...so far no problem. It even seems that graphs are working in Snort and Suricata in-line mode...big applaud!
