[yeraycito]

A long awaited update from my side, many thanks to franco for his work.

Clean install 24.7

Update to 24.7.1 perfect

Some components of the update took a long time to update but everything is fine.

Nice to hear, thanks!

I'll update the upgrade path from 24.1.10 tomorrow as well.


Cheers,
Franco

Upgraded to 24.7.1 yesterday, everything worked fine.

I absolutely recommend using boot environments, if you use ZFS as filesystem:

I use acme, dhcp, firewall, unbound and intrusion detection on the APU2 with 4GB memory

Just upgraded to Opnsense 24.7.1. and the upgrade worked like a charm. Many thanks to franco and his team.

My short-term observations:

• The new dashboard looks nice 
• IPsec over IPv6 and NAT-T is now available 
• The throughput issue with activated IPsec (link) still persists (maybe kernel issue in FreeBSD)

Finally the world is catching up to Solaris circa 2011... ;-)

(BEs are a thing of absolute glory, for the record.)

FreeBSD 2012:

Just to nitpick: beadm is a port. bectl[1] is the base tool from 2017.

[Patrick M. Hausen]

I know. But beadm is not a port of Solaris beadm but a reimplementation. It was just easier to get it into ports first instead of base.

Ok you win
