Also the check sum is diffrent before I extract it.

The posted checksum is for the compressed gzip archive. So your "before extraction" value is what you would check to validate the download was not corrupted on your end. After you extract the ISO (or USB memstick image) the checksum will be different and not valid for "validating" the downloaded ISO.
The image will be a FreeBSD-11.3-STABLE operating system. The 2.5.0 DEVEL snapshots are FreeBSD-12.1-STABLE. Don't know if that might matter to whatever device you are trying to "mount" the image on.
The preferred method these days is to create a USB image using the "memstick" download option. Of course a conventional ISO should work fine once burned to a CD using the proper tool. Not really sure what your issue could be. Lots of folks have used the installers for pfSense Community Edition recently. I assume you are following the instructions as posted here: https://docs.netgate.com/reference/create-flash-media.html#Rufus?
