Updated last night to the 26.7 version from the GUI.
Dashboard shows version 26.7. I tried to chec for updates and get the following:

Systems stays up for about 2 or 3 minutes then reboots. Prrobably not long enough to really look around to see whats going on.
Fix your time, then post here the health check
No go!!

How does OPNsense end the life of a product when the new version is not fully tested??!!
UNBELIEVABLE!!
I mean there is a business edition and official hardware if you want to have the most stable and predictable experience.
Upgrade worked perfectly for me, so perhaps it is something in your configuration. You took a snapshot right? Should take 1 minute to rollback.
Correct. We already have dozens of successful upgrade reports on this forum alone and probably hundreds if not thousands of upgrades in the field.
What leads you to the conclusion the problem you see is a general one and not particular to your configuration?
I'd start with: do you have any third party repositories enabled? Have you ever installed packages from the FreeBSD repo instead of the OPNsense one and potentially replaced the "pkg" binary?

So have you even started debugging why the connection may fail? That would be helpful in order to offer a fix.
If you don't know how, get past venting and ask how...
Cheers,
Franco

Dude... it's brand new and you are basically testing it together with many others around the world : What did you expect ?!
Anyways...
I would start with the Kernel TLS tweak mentioned in other threads and see if it helps.
If your OPNsense can't stay up long enough to do it : Boot a FreeBSD Live ISO and mount the disk offline so you can edit the right file.

Could you please point me to the mentioned Kernel TLS tweak? I also get frequent reboots due to a kernel panic on my Topton N6005 box after the 26.7 upgrade:
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0x0
panic: page fault
memmove_erms()
bpf_zerocopy_append_mbuf()
catchpacket()
bpf_mtap2()
ether_bpf_mtap_if()
lagg_transmit_ethernet() → vlan_transmit() → ether_output_frame()
ng_apply_item() → ng_snd_item() → ng_ether_output() → ether_output()
ip_output() → tcp_default_output() → tcp_usr_ready()
ktls_encrypt() → ktls_work_thread()
I've currently disabled net.bpf.zerocopy using a tunable (net.bpf.zerocopy_enable=0) and it actually seems to work for me, but maybe there is more elegant solution that I'm missing. Thanks!

It's this : https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=52389.msg270462#msg270462
It seems to affect a lot of things so please check if it does for you too! :)
> bpf_zerocopy_append_mbuf()
Well this is the zerocopy sysctl which we don't set by default.
> pkg: An error occurred while fetching package: Unknown error
This could be the DTLSv1.1 "fatal" OpenSSL error, but we don't set that by default.
Cheers,
Franco
Just for reference (in case someone else stumbles over this thread):
I had boot loops on update to 26.7 too, but for a different reason: I was still using an ooold EFI boot loader (from 2022?).
Updating the boot loader per FreeBSD 15.1 instructions helped in my case. See https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=52508.0.
