      @stephenw10 OK, Thanks for the info, its no issue for me, as I only have allowed to connect to my pfsense via SSH by the LAN side, just been curious and wondered about the warning! Thank you

        This message is truly bizarre to me as pfsense should have sntrup761x25519-sha512 already . . .

          @zcrayfish It happened, after I updated my MacPorts stuff, and I saw also that OpenSSH has been updatet last week, since then, I get this message. But its not worrying me, as I only connect from LAN side via ssh to my pfsense. As stephenw10 said, it will be updatet with the next release. Cheers, by the way, I have also a ubuntu server which i often connect to via ssh, and there, the message doesnt appear ( I keep it always up to date).

            @zcrayfish It appears to, but the script that generates sshd_config at boot does not include either PQ algorithm.

                Seems to work fine. Here's a patch if you want to test it: 1252.diff

                  @stephenw10 Thank you for your effort! Excuse me my silly question, do I have to execute your mentioned Patch 1252.diff in shell of pfsense? I downloaded it already... but not sure, what to do with it...or if a file needs to be patched... ?

                    Install the System Patches package and then add it as a new patch.

                        @stephenw10 The Patch works, I did it like you said, and restarted sshd, now, when I login via ssh, the message:

                        ** WARNING: connection is not using a post-quantum key exchange algorithm.
                        ** This session may be vulnerable to "store now, decrypt later" attacks.
                        ** The server may need to be upgraded. See https://openssh.com/pq.html

                        Doesnt appear anymore! Wonderfull, wished I could give a thumbs up..but Im not allowed to...Big Thanks again!
