      @SteveITS Your hint about the update path did the trick! I was able to roll back to 24.3 and install the pfb version that used to work. Now all is back to normal.
      I guess 24.11 and pfb is currently not a good idea to run on an SG1100.

      Thank you for helping!

        @Klaus2314 Sorry, spoke too early. 24.3 with the 24.3 update path shows the pfblocker version that only runs on 24.11. Any idea how to install 3.2.0_8 instead of the newer 3.2.0_10 which does not run?

          @Klaus2314 Each update branch has "the current" (for that version) package. So there's not a way to get "some older version" that isn't in the online repos. It has only one place to look.

          It sounds like you have ZFS on your 1100 so you can just revert to a previous boot environment...?

          About the only ways pfBlocker can "not run" are needing more than the 1 GB RAM (i.e. big lists) on the 1100 or using CPU (often, processing/updating big lists) so I would try to figure out why you are seeing high usage, with the dashboard not visible. You could try to track down the changes between those two minor versions but I would not expect to see much significant.

          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.

                @jrey I've finally managed to roll back to 24.3 after 2 days of messing around and re-install pfb 3.2.0_10 from scratch. Now all is dandy again with much more lists active than under 24.11.
