      Hello,

      We agree that without having manually reinstalled pFsense we cannot downgrade.
      I am looking to downgrade pfSense Plus 23.05 to pfSense Plus 23.01
      I don't have a support subscription, where can I download pfSense Plus 23.01 please?

      Actual pfSense:
      23.05-RELEASE (amd64)
      Netgate 7100

      Thank you.

        You can't download a pfSense Plus image from any public accessible site. It is proprietary software.

        However, if you have a Netgate appliance you can open a TAC Lite free support request and they can send you the correct image for your Netgate hardware. That website is here: https://www.netgate.com/tac-support-request. You will have to provide some information about your Netgate appliance in the web form.

              @GeorgeCZ58 because after the upgrade some flows (RPD, SIP, SMB) did not pass between the agencies interconnected in OpenVPN and I couldn't find the reason but that's good, the rule in red was in place before the upgrade wasn't enough, I had to add the rules in green.

                @onetwo it looks to have moved to a more graingular access control list if that is what occured. More security maybe ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿง.

                  Hmm, the rules in green there should never match anything with the rule in red above them. All IPv4 traffic would be matched by the red rule and passed first.

                    @onetwo see if there is an error:
                    https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/firewall.html#new-rules-are-not-applied

                    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.
