      Hmm, as I read this it looks like more of a warning than anything else. It comes from this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/16658

        @stephenw10 Yes, it seems so.

        However, each time it reboots we don't need a false alarm, do we?

        The right thing would be to check interface mtu/mss and vpn with dco custom mtu/mss and omit the warning.

        And while we are at it, there is also confusion in certain post if mss is specified IS the value displayed, NOT the mss displayed minus 40 bytes.

        This comes from the fact that when you don't enter mss in most cases (but not always, eg wireguard, openvpn dco to name a few) one has to specify the mss.
        and THEN mss MUST be MTU -40.
        Perhaps adding a note right at the field would also help.

            I updated my second sg1100 shelf spare. Using what I learned from the other spare 1100 and the production 4200, I tried the following major steps:

            1. Disable (but don't remove) pfBlocker.
            2. Stop other optional packages and services, but don't remove.
            3. Sign out of GUI.
            4. Update with console option 13.
            5. Re-enable pfBlocker and update or reload the alias lists.
            6. Reboot once more. "It's the only way to be sure."

            This update succeeded on the first try, and was an order or more of magnitude faster than updating from the GUI as I'd done with the first 1100 and the 4200. Instead of 45+ minutes to update via Starlink it took about 15 minutes or less.

            I suspect running the GUI update profoundly slows the update process even on a faster box like the 4200.

              about 15 minutes or less.

              Correction: FIVE minutes.

                  Updated 6100 without issues. Have applied two Fresports-tailscaled updates without issues; Tailscale-GUI Authorization and Advertised Routes have persisted after reboots.

                    Have you applied these freeports updates to tailscale because of issues with the tailscale client build in the current pfSense tailscale Package, or?

                    Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)

                      No. The 26.03 Tailscale Package had no issues. I have updated Tailscale from Freshports since version 24.11 because I prefer to keep all my Tailscale devices on the same version. I had to deal with compatibility issues until now.

                        To upgrade, select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings. When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, CPU, and/or disk speed.
                        Only install packages for your version of pfSense.

                              That 400 error at the CLI is expected if you haven't logged into the GUI for a while. It implies the client side cert has expired.

                              As an alternative you can run: pfSense-repoc -N
                              That will pull a new cert like the webgui does when it checks for updates.

                                does this version detect a NVME over mpcie on the 2100 and or the wifi adapter on that port? I was able to solve the Squid status page myself finally on 25 but I cant go past the version where the drivers for my Optane drive are deleted. . .

                                  No that driver is still broken upstream.

                                    Unbound being OOM-killed silently after upgrade to 26.03 โ€” Netgate 2100

                                    Hardware: Netgate 2100 (dual-core ARM Cortex-A53)
                                    Software: pfSense Plus 26.03 (upgraded from 25.07.1 on April 21, 2026)
                                    DNS Resolver: Unbound with DNS Query Forwarding and DoT enabled (forwarding to 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1)
                                    DHCP Backend: Kea


                                    Symptom

                                    Since upgrading to 26.03, Unbound intermittently stops running with no log entries โ€” not even at verbosity level 3. Internet access is lost and requires either manually starting Unbound from the GUI or a full reboot to restore. A reboot provides extended stability (hours to days); manually restarting Unbound without rebooting sometimes results in a rapid recurrence.

                                    This behavior did not occur on 25.07.1 with the same configuration.


                                    Root Cause Identified: Kernel OOM Kill

                                    Searching the rotated system log files revealed the following:

                                    May 12 12:41:52 pfSense-small kernel: pid 57593 (unbound), jid 0, uid 59, was killed: failed to reclaim memory
                                    

                                    Unbound is being killed by the kernel due to memory pressure. Because it receives SIGKILL, the process has no opportunity to write log entries before dying, which explains the complete silence in resolver.log regardless of verbosity level.

                                    A second likely crash event was identified on May 1 via an anomalous kea2unbound entry in dhcpd.log:

                                    May  1 21:31:24 kea2unbound[14963]: Include updated: /var/unbound/leases/leases4.conf
                                    May  1 21:31:24 kea2unbound[14963]: Synchronization completed: 42522.2561ms
                                    

                                    Note the 42.5-second synchronization time (normal is 450โ€“850ms) and the absence of the usual "Unbound fast reloaded" line between the two entries, indicating kea2unbound could not complete the reload โ€” consistent with Unbound being dead or unresponsive at that time.


                                    Memory State (post-reboot, from top)

                                    Mem: 14M Active, 21M Inact, 198M Laundry, 2900M Wired, 187M Free
                                    ARC: 42M Total, 13M MFU, 18M MRU, 381K Anon, 474K Header, 8134K Other
                                         9041K Compressed, 79M Uncompressed, 8.96:1 Ratio
                                    

                                    The 2900M of wired memory is notably high and may indicate a memory regression in 26.03. Memory appears adequate immediately after a reboot but Unbound is eventually OOM-killed as memory accumulates over time.


                                    Additional Observations

                                    • Suricata has been disabled for several months โ€” resource contention is not a factor
                                    • No cron jobs are configured (crontab is empty)
                                    • The issue is reproducible and tied directly to the 26.03 upgrade โ€” 25.07.1 boot environment is available and was stable
                                    • Normal kea2unbound reload times: 450โ€“850ms across all log history, with the single exception noted above
                                    • The kea2unbound integration triggers an Unbound fast reload on each DHCP lease change; under memory pressure these reloads may be contributing to instability

                                    Happy to provide additional diagnostics if helpful. Planning to roll back to 25.07.1 in the interim given the business-critical nature of this network.

                                      What is using memory in that system? What does top -HaSP show?

                                        @stephenw10 - Please see below. Note: I have a CRON job collecting mem usage on unbound. Thanks and wanted to solicit consensus before crying wolf and submitting a bug since I couldn't find anything in redmine related to this circumstance. -Jon

                                          @johan333 Do you have pfBlocker set to Python mode?

                                          To upgrade, select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings. When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, CPU, and/or disk speed.
                                          Only install packages for your version of pfSense.

                                            That ^

                                            Also 69M doesn't seem especially high. I assume it increases significantly since it's only been up for 10h.
