order of updates
-
should I upgrade WireGuard from 0.2.7 to 0.2.9 and pfBlockerNG-devel from 3.2.1_19 to 3.2.1_20 before pfsense 24.11 to 24.11.r.20241112.1813 or are these updates included in pfsense 24.11.r.20241112.1813 update.
-
Never, never upgrade packages when a new pfSense version is also available! That is a guaranteed way to break your box!
First upgrade pfSense to the latest version, and only after then should you upgrade any packages.
-
The packages should be updated during the upgrade anyway.
The new pkg system with dynamic repos makes accidentally pulling in packages from the wrong repo thankfully far more difficult. Since 23.09.1 you've had to opt in to the new repo when an update is available.
