I restored the beta config from Backup after having made a number of changes while testing some IPv6 configs.
As a result the SOCKS daemon reports every hour that is failed and is being restarted.

Hi Barry,
... but the thread is closed.
i can re-open that thread, if you prefer to have this information publicly available.
This needs to be made much more clear... the system should reboot automatically after restoring a backup from USB, etc.
I'm not sure if i understand you correctly. Do you suggest that we improve the documentation or do you really want to have an automatic reboot?
The latter case has been discussed many times between the developers and the we agreed on the current behavior (no automatic reboot), because it works fine in the majority of the cases, where you restore to a previous configuration that is only slightly different to you current config. The use case is something like "oops i deleted one important firewall rule / user / interface".
The problems arise when you have larger changes, like turning on all proxies at once, changing all interface addresses at once. In this case, a reboot is often the easiest way to get the box in a useful state.
Cheers,
Kai
