      Hi guys!
      At the moment under System/Advanced/Networking I have ISC DHCP as primary
      What happens to all my settings if I just use Kea DHCP?
      Do I need to make changes other than just choose Kea DHCP?

        Check out any of the "Kea" related post in the DHCP forum : Home pfSense® Software DHCP and DNS

        Read the announcement, the one you've seen on the pfSense dashboard (RSS feed) : Netgate Adds Kea DHCP to pfSense Plus Software Version 23.09 - this one will answer most of your questions.

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

          1. Download the installer
          2. Backup config
          3. Check the box and save.

              imo
              just ignore the ISC DHCP End of life warning as while it is correct, the pfsense replacement is not ready for production use.

                You can switch back easily if you find you need one of the ISC features that are not yet in Kea.
