The main problem, along with other minor issues encountered in the upgrade were described in the first post that started this thread. I have followed this original post with details of the other issues I have solved, and later with linked posts that describe what I have discovered and attempted in order to solve the main problem, which is that since the upgrade (from FreedomBox stable/Debian 11 to FreedomBox stable/Debian 12) no packets originating in the internal zone (2 interfaces) go out to the external zone/interface. The only way I can get back to how it was when working properly is to completely disable the firewall. I suppose if not using a threaded mail reader it could be difficult to link the various posts. > there is no information about the process which you used to install or > the distro. Not in the later posts, which were specific to the latest findings and attempts, but the issue was described in the first one. To recap: the FreedomBox was set to upgrade automatically to the next release. This started automatically and then for 2 days more and more parts stopped working, as described in the first post, until it became almost completely non-functional and inaccessibe and I had to stop the upgrade. Once I did that, the upgrade ended in about an hour with aptitude, and after some minor cleanup and a reboot everything seemed to be working. All diagnostics pass but no packets flow through from the internal zone to the external, unless I disable the firewall. I keep digging into the firewall rules, but it's a steep learning curve as I've never dealt with this before in this detail. On a previous upgrade I encountered the same issue and the only thing that fixed it was installing a brand new FreedomBox image on a brand new SD card. I'm hoping to avoid having to do this, with all the manual configuration this entails. And yes, I have the backup app doing regular backups to an internal machine. In any case, thanks for reading and taking the time to reply.
