      Good day,
      I have a small LAN.
      The base is proxmox VE. There is KVM with pfSense (2.5.0) on Proxmox VE.
      What is better?

      1. Upgrade through web interface
      2. Back up the configuration. Install PF 2.6.0 and restore configuration?

        I did both, and they both went without a hitch.
        The only reason I backed up and reinstalled was because I wanted to move to ZFS.

        I have one issue though. For some reason, even after a full new install and restore, I'm still not getting the option to update to 22.01. I already registered and have the activation key in my email.

        I even tried "pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade", and rebooted, just in case Tried to halt, unplug for 1 minute (I know it says 30 seconds, but I don't believe in "overkill"), booted back up, all to no avail.

        I do use an actual Qotom device for my PFsense, so your mileage may vary.
