Same here, 6.2.3 is solid and works great.

We have both on but on all medium size 200 and 300Es, so it looks good for now. Will keep monitor.

thanks for responding - neither do I, I prefer to use a FAZ instead of an x1 model, better investment even in the short run...

 Hi Ede, Today I upgraded to 6.2.3: 2x 81E HA -  from version 6.0.8, all without any problems (SSL VPN, IPsec VPN, without UTM) 1x 61E - from version 6.0.8, all without any problems (SSL VPN, IPsec VPN, full UTM)

everything is connected to FAZ200D, 6.0.7

only where I had in Custom device group in Policy after the update it changed to "all" - watch it.

But not for the 100F and 60F so far

Hopefully any day I hear that at 6.2.4 it will be combined into the main release build, so no waiting after that

Personal view - I have updated 3 HA firewall pairs to 6.2.3 and no issues found with a week of running (OK is was xmas, but still been running a week no issues). Devices upgraded are 50e and 80d units.

Memory usage is down across all of them.

I know similar thread on reddit is saying people are having issues with netflix streaming sticks in TVs - but I don't have any such devices at work! And, I have double checked netflix from phone to be sure anyway.

Ken, are you mostly using flow mode policies, or doing some proxy mode? I’m considering moving a small site over, from 6.0.8, but need proxy mode web filtering and am wanting to hear others’ experience with it first.

Works here on 60E fine. Also 2factor for vpn :)

We do see some issues with 6.2.3 running Fortilink and dot1x because of a Fortilink CMDB redesign. Those were stated in the resolved issues list in the release not - but not everything was really resolved.

There are already post 6.2.3 interim builds which seem to resolv this and get merged into 6.2.4 - but for Fortilink Setups I'd stay with 6.0 right now!

Hello all,

I'm seeing some strange issues in FortiCloud reports after the 6.2.3 upgrade.

The daily stats seem to be "adding" so the point where my 60E is showing more than 25TB of data per hour and increasing hour on hour. I guess it's probably an issue with the stats are reported and agregated.

I'll raise a ticket for it just to make sure it's covered- but definitely an issue related to the 6.2.3 release.

Kind Regards,

Andy.
