      Can anyone confirm whether avahi works in 25.07? I read a thread here (that I can't find now) where a user noted after upgrading that avahi wasn't working and was unable to get it working. The user ended up rewiring the network so avahi wasn't needed anymore. I would like to upgrade a Netgate 2100 from 24.11 but don't want to rewire. So I am curious if avahi is working for others after upgrading to 25.07?

        If you're using ZFS you can test it and roll back if you need to.

          Thank you as always for the quick reply Stephen. I haven't always had the greatest luck with smooth upgrades in the past so was hoping to hear from other avahi users (Apple TVs, Airplay speakers, printers, etc.) before embarking on the upgrade process.

            I know of no reason that Avahi would not work in 25.07. I tested Avahi in early versions of 25.07, but haven't recently so YMMV.

              Thank you for the reply.

              I found the thread where @markster reported it stopped working after the upgrade. https://forum.netgate.com/post/1222902

                FWIW “apple mirroring or airplay does not work anymore” really wasn’t sufficient to indicate an Avahi issue, and he didn’t seem much interested in further diagnosis. Also, given his other reported issue, and a quick vlan reconfiguration, it seems possible that there may have been other items that contributed to the issues he reported.

                Honestly, if Avahi were broken, I would expect to see lots of posts regarding it.

                  Thank you for that insight. I've always assumed that avahi wasn't a commonly installed package since I don't see much discussion about it. I will install the 25.07 update this week and report back.

                    Last night I upgraded the 2100 via the console with pfBlockerNG and Avahi packages left in place, and after 20 minutes or so it came back up and avahi appears to be working properly.
