I wanted to thank everyone for creating such an amazing software.  There are often posts about problems but I wanted to voice my thanks to Deciso and those who participate in the project and forum. 

I'm a hobby user protecting my home network.  I had a friend who helped me set up OPNsense a few years ago.  He installed OPNsense on a separate device.  My friend passed away a few months ago and I was concerned that the update from 25.1.12 to 25.7.2 would have some problems and I'd have no help.  Thankfully the forums are very helpful!

I had a short panic when the GUI didn't come back up after the 25.1.12 to 25.7 update. That issue was remedied by pulling the plug to force a restart.  But after that, it rebooted like a champion and the updates from 25.7 to 25.7.2 went without issue. 

During this panic I realized that I've never used the serial port before.  When the device rebooted and I logged in, I found it was disabled. Now it is enabled!!

Please accept my heartfelt thanks for making the software robust so a hobby user can keep it running.

Thank you!
