      hello everyone, for educational purposes, I am trying to activate a Ha cluster.
      I have a pc with 5 network cards one is the wan and other 4 network shce in LACP Lan + vlan10 + vlan20 + vlan30.
      I activated a pfsense backup on proxmox always with a wan network card and 4 cards in lacp.
      On the master I have Haproxy, acme, snort and pfblockerNG,
      But do you think it is possible to activate a backup on proxmox?
      what should i watch out for?

        @wifi75 Up until relatively recently pfSense needed the same hardware on both in order to sync states. However as of 22.01/2.6, that's no longer a requirement. So it should be possible to use any hardware.

        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.
