      Hi,
      I have this problem: I have a 32 bit pfsense installation 2.3.5-RELEASE-p2 (i386) as a VM in vmware and I of corse need to pass to a 64 bit version.
      My firewall has 5 interfaces configured and 10 virtual IP.
      Is there somewere a step by step procedure to help the migration without too many try and error?
      I would like the new firewall to have same ip on the various interfaces.
      Thank you in advance for any help.

        Create a new VM with the same hardware specs. Install 2.5.2. Restore your config into it.

        It should be as easy as that.
