Just upgraded to 26.1 and it went smoothly as always.

After upgrading, I removed some stale configurations of old plug-ins and uninstalled the legacy ISC plug-in, as I had switched to Kea a few releases ago.

For the foreseeable future, I plan to migrate to the new rule interface, as I'm pretty eager to test the Divert IPS mode, given the potential beneficial impact it may have on overall system performance.

All that being said, I know I say this every time I perform an upgrade, but I really want to congratulate the team for this upteenth smooth experience. I deal with firewalls for a living, and such smooth transitions between major releases are never to be taken for granted.

Your level of dedication and the quality of your work are simply insane!

Upgrade to release 25.7.6 went pretty smoothly except for the already announced hiccup related to the package manager upgrade.

The system appears to be stable, especially Suricata running in IPS mode and behaving just fine.

HW and Feature set are as per the signature.

Thanks to the developers for yet another great release.

I usually take my time when it comes to switching between major releases so I waited for release 25.1.1 before saying goodbye to 24.7.12.

All that being said, both the big jump from 24.7 to 25.1 and the smallest one between 25.1 to 25.1.1 went smoothly.

I have not experienced any issues during the upgrades and so far performances are ace as usual.

For the reference, my current feature set is as follows:

• Unbound DNS with blocklists enabled
• Suricata in IPS mode
• Kea DHCP Server
• NTopNG
• Wireguard ClientVPN

Round of applause to all the team!

Upgrade from 24.1.10 to 24.7_9 went smoothly with no issues whatsoever.

After almost one week of usage, I have not experienced a single feature break except for some minor issues with the dashboard widgets that have been solved with today's update to 24.7.1.

My current installation includes:

• ISC DHCPv4 (will move to KEA by the end of the month)
• Suricata in IPS mode
• ntopng
• Wireguard client VPN

Thumbs up to everyone for the great job!
