        I saw that a day or so ago and thought the site had been hacked. You would think someone from Netgate would post a note explaining what this is before they rolled it out.

            Never saw this, probably was blocking it right away.

              There's a clickable keyhole icon, lower left:

              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.

                Not for me. My FF is hardened as it can be. For shopping I have to switch Browsers sometimes. 😬

                        It is something that come from Netgate (see attach). I made a test on a different machine. If you deny the use of javascript for the domain embeds.iubenda.com the annoying keyhole and the banner dissapears.

                          @fireodo ah ok - that makes sense why not seeing it then, ublock blocks that fqdn completely

                            @johnpoz I'm also a longtime uBlock Origin user and I made the silly mistake a few years ago to whitelist this forum. So naive of me. I guess I learned my lesson.

                              Side noted also when this rolled out my IP block inside my HE tunnel when on my Windows 11 showed blacklisted for about 20 mins when accessing the website it was weird. It is all resolved now.

                              Update: July 29 8:35ish It occurred this morning again...

                                Yeah that is an expected element on the forum now. I think it was added maybe 2 weeks ago.

                                I didn't see it either because I also have it filtered by default. 😉
