      Hmm, well I would use a gateway directly rather than a group with one gateway in it.

      21.05-REL on the 3100 has known issues that will cause you problems so I would update if at all possible.

      Can you limit SSH to know IPs or to dyndns addresses perhaps?

        @stephenw10 Hi Steve, it looks like issue 12004 is possibly what was causing the pain on boot issues. The significance of a PHP crash wasn't something I'd fully appreciated.

        With 21.05.2 the system appears to start up happily.

        It would be super helpful if a fix that affected platforms referenced the models in the release notes.

        Thanks for your help. Just the WAN failover to do some more testing with.

          Although the 3100 isn't directly mentioned in https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/21-05-1.html it is one of the few 32 bit ARM models. (also the 1000).

          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.

            Mmm, I agree it would have been useful there. It also didn't affect the SG-1000 directly because it only affected multicore devices. Really only the 3100.

            But you should always be on the latest version really unless you have a very good reason not to be.

              Hello!

              All of my multi wan failover configs running on 21.05.2 cratered due to this:

              https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11570

              I manually reverted this code change from this issue to get it working again.
