      This seems to be a major update for UI.
      Share your positive and negative experiences.
      TIA

            @chudak Upgraded 3 boxes so far (2 x 6100 max and 1 x 2100 Max) with quite a lot of packages (pfBlockerNG, Tftp, Wireguard, lldpd, notes, MDNS-Bridge, NUT). No issues and all packages upgraded automatically during the process.

            I’m a little reluctant to enable Nexus and the new UI even though I have played a lot with it the last week on a testbox.
            Still missing some details regarding several of the questions I have posed here on the forum (under Nexus).
            The new UI is FAAAAST, but some features are missing/ a little buggy and I’m thinking I want to go full CoreDNS/Threathgate once possible (disable pfBlockerNG), but ThreathDB is not online so It would be a full custom manual config…

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

              3100 and 4100 accepted the update, both went well.

              Thanks everyone involved for working with the ARM Cortex-A9 to keep it alive! I brought it out of retirement just to update it.

                When I changed my primary box to my WG M470 my Plus version has now stayed behind on my older M400 for lab stuff.. I just enabled the new UI to play with it but have not looked a whole lot yet.. But what I did see is pretty navigable so far..

                Some minor stuff I could complain about but won't. I can get used to it.

                Id love to move my subscription over to my new box but would have to re-install C.E. for the "lab" box and that is a PIA! Eventually I will put Plus on the new primary and utilize the new UI more often..

                  I am not sure why after clicking on Update I get?

                  Instead of just offering update?

                    Change the "branch".

                      @chudak At some point they changed the default from ā€œcurrentā€ to ā€œthe version you haveā€ so people would not install packages from a future version.

                      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.

                        Yup updates are opt-in and have been for a while now. That's expected.

                          I did update after all.
                          For some reason TaleScale was not happy so had to do hard reboot. But all look ok now.
