      those who took part in testing 23.09, like me, have a problem with returning to CE :)

        @Viper_Rus Unless you’ve made major config changes recently, roll back to the previous release if you’re using ZFS, copy off config.xml, then do the reinstall.

            2.7 has the same config version as 23.05.1 so it should import without issue.
            See: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/versions.html

            Will that fall over if there were packages installed on plus that don't exist on CE ? Like OpenVPN client import ?

              No it won't fall over. It simply won't re-install any packages that are not present in the repo.
