Preety smooth upgrade experience

[turipriv]

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!

Hear, hear.   I upgraded and resolved a ip queue issue I was having.   

Code Select Expand

sysctl net.inet.ip.intr_queue_drops
Not sure if the new kernel did it, but everything is working smooth on my end.  Adguard and Unifi controller all hosted bare metal too.   

Good job team!

I'm sorry, given your nickname I just couldn't help it... :P

I always get sphincter twitch on a major upgrade, but I did 4 appliances last night all of varying configs, one IPv6 only, and it was smooth as butter.

Happy days.....

Mine wasn't so good. After the update it refuses to connect to the router, basically a local LAN box now. All internal reporting thinks everything is great except it refuses to resolve any DNS to direct IP access.

My only fix might be what I did last time a factory reset!!

That's weird.

What is your topology and DNS configuration?

You said in the past you had to factory reset, were you experiencing the same issue?

If you share some more details we may try to troubleshoot it further.

LOL.  I don't know anything about this.  I just googled it.  I got this name because I used to play Civilizations III ladder online and my name was Mark the Bold.  However, I got reputation for attacking unarmed settlers early so one guy called me Mark the Barbarian.  Eventually settled on Mark the Red and have kept it as my nickname ever since.
