      Hello,

      I bought two Netgate 6100s a few months apart, they are in the same version (pfSense+ 22.05), so they are the same machines with the same config (one is restored from the backup of the other), however , in the new there are menus that there are not in the old one. I don't understand how is this possible with the same machine and exactly the same config?

      On the new machine, in the VPN tab, I have 3 more menus "AWS VPC VPN Wizard, IPSec Export: Apple Profile & IPSec Export: Windows), please see screenshot in attach.

      Netgate 6100 purchased a few months ago (without new menus) :

      Netgate 6100 bought a few weeks ago (with new menus) :

        Isn't this a matter of visiting SystemPackage > Manager > Available Packages and installing them ?

        I have them installed, so they are visible at the the System > Package Manager > Installed Packages page.

        Btw : when you buy a 6100, these 3 packages are pre installed.
        That is, when I bought my 4100, it had 22.02 and they were there. Also when I upgraded to 22.05.
        Maybe, because you imported a config ( from another device ... be careful, it contains also dedicated device IDs, not to be used on another device ) things went missing.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Those packages are pre-installed on the 6100 (or any installation of Plus).

          Importing a configuration that doesn't have the packages would lead to them being removed, but getting them back is as simple as reinstalling the packages. There may be some other cases that can also lead to them being removed (maybe factory reset) but the net result is the same. Reinstall the packages in question and they'll be back.
