- @Flubbadub Good question. The problem with rustup is that you can't properly specify what Rust version must be used (like what is possible when using rust=1.32).Because of this, the rust=1.32 dependency is set, which is not compatible with the rustup package. I did try to detect the installed Rust version when used through rustup when installing the package, to warn the user if they're.

Customers who have purchased firewalls from the Netgate Store can getfactory installation images by contacting support. The Netgate ProductManuals contain specific instructions for each model. Some Netgate devicescan also run Community Edition images, but the factory images offer the bestuser experience.

Select a Platform:
- USB Memstick Installer
A disk image which can be written to a USB memory stick (memstick) andbooted on the target hardware for installation.
- DVD Image (ISO) Installer
To install from optical media or for use with IPMI or hypervisors which canboot from ISO images.
Select a Console for USB Memstick Installer images:
- VGA
Installs using a monitor and keyboard connected to the target hardware, orvirtual machines with equivalent components.
- Serial
Installs using a serial console on
COM1
of the target hardware. Thisoption requires a non-USB hardware console port.Note
Some hardware contains a usable serial port which is exposedthrough a special internal USB/Serial connection and dedicated USBconsole port. This hardware generally works fine, and is not the same asa USB/Serial adapter plugged into a USB port, which will not work forserving a serial console.

Verifying the integrity of the download¶
The integrity of the installer image can be verified by comparing a computedhash value of the downloaded file against a hash computed by the pfSenseproject when the files were originally created. The current hashes provided bythe project use SHA-256.
The SHA-256 sum displayed on the download page is the best source, as it is notpulled from the same directory as the download images. A file containing theSHA-256 sum is also available on the mirrors with the same filename as thechosen installer image, but ending in .sha256
.
Use the accompanying SHA-256 sum from the download site or .sha256
file toverify that the download successfully completed and is an official release ofpfSense software.
Warning
The SHA-256 sums are computed against the compressed versions ofthe downloaded files. Compare the hash before decompressing the file.
Nfsen-ng
Hash calculation programs vary by operating system, some common examplesinclude:
Use HashTab to compare the value against the provided hash. WithHashTab installed, right click on the downloaded file to access theFile Hashes tab containing the SHA256 hash, among others.
Tip
If a SHA256 hash is not displayed, right click in the hash viewand click Settings, then check the box for SHA256 and clickOK.
The generated SHA256 hash from HashTab can be compared with the contentsof the provided checksum.
Note
It is also possible to use the Linux sha256sum
ormd5sum
commands within Cygwin if the Cygwin command prompt islaunched as an Admin user.
Use the shasum
or md5
command line utilities to generate a hashof the downloaded file.
Example:
The generated SHA256 hash can be compared with the contents of theprovided .sha256 checksum.
Use the sha256sum
or md5sum
command line utilities to generate ahash of the downloaded file.
