      upgraded from pfsense+ 23.09.1 to 24.03

      setup is linked to a virtualbox pfsense 2.7.2 via IPSEC with OSPF and BGP

      after upgrade IPSEC still works but in vtysh i get this - basically every 3minutes and 8 seconds it works for a minute then goes down and again up and so on ..

      does anyone has any clue?

        *The default State Policy has been changed from Floating to Interface Bound for increased security. However, Interface Bound states may have issues in certain cases with IPsec VTI, Multi-WAN policy routing (route-to), reply-to, as well as with High Availability state synchronization (pfsync) on non-identical hardware.

        The default policy can be toggled back to Floating using the State Policy option under System > Advanced on the Firewall & NAT tab.

        There is also an option to override this behavior on a per-rule basis in the advanced options when editing a firewall rule.*

        i switched back to floating for the moment and it is working...

          Hmm, interesting. I wouldn't have expected that to show a BGP capability error like that. Perhaps that's still happening just not flapping causing it to log repeatedly?

              Not even when it first connects?
