Title: [SOLVED]System -> Firmware -> Settings -> Type
Post by: tdalej on January 17, 2024, 10:50:24 PM
Which gets the most stable updates?  Business?
The default was set to Community.

I ask because I'm getting some really special behavior after the last update.

You need a contract and a license code for business. Community is fine for most uses. Business receives some additional QA. See https://shop.opnsense.com/product-categorie/software_and_licenses/

Thank you!

I was hoping there might be a more stable version I could select in the UI.
Is there an older series that might be a bit more stable than 23.7?

Nope. Once a new version is released all older versions become unsupported. Which doesn't mean the system will explode if you don't update, but e.g. 23.1 didn't get any update since the release of 23.7.

Maybe the forum regulars like myself could help you if you would elaborate a bit on your "stability" problems?

to be fair, it maybe less of stability issues than me learning where to find the stuff in this interface -- but the initial install and first few updates were ... rough.
Having to reboot multiple times to get past updates ....
