      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!
