      @jimp Will I need to remove all patches before the inplace upgrade? Custom ones also? Or can I just leave them?

        @jonathanlee no just apply new ones.

        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.

          Nice, I am only on 2.6.0, one of the reasons i didnt move to plus is I didnt know if custom system patches could still be done for that version.

          This package is one of the nicest features about pfSense, not just because of the recommended patches but the fact you officially support people making their own patches which is awesome.

          I currently have 16 of my own patches active via this package.

          pfSense CE 2.7.2

                I do not. After upgrading pfSense, the upgrade will have upgraded the System Patches package. It will only show patches that apply to the new pfSense version.

                Basically, all recommended patches are going to be included in the next pfSense version.

                  No, you do not need to do anything in this package before upgrading. Just leave it as-is.

                  In the majority of cases, what you are updating to will contain all of the patches available to previous versions. If you had custom patches that are not a part of pfSense software you might need to reapply those after upgrading, but otherwise you don't need to touch anything in the package before or after upgrading.
