      This fixes the issue if the cert errors are for the ntop repo: https://www.yinfor.com/2022/02/upgrade-pfsense-from-the-community-edition-to-pfsense-plus.html

        I have checked my pfsense install and do not have ntop installed. I am however using IPv6 in a dual stack environment and when I checked my internal DNS server which is used for all DNS queries I noticed that while most DNS queries for A and AAAA records do succceed unfortunately some do not. So if Prefer IPv4 is not selected the upgrade checking process fails, enable it and the Upgrade check works. I have been using dual stack IPv6 for 7 years now, hopefully now this IPv6 issue is highlighted the supporting infrastructure can be updated so Upgrade Check/Upgrade it works correctly

          Hi all

          I have the same issue on a fresh 2.6.0 install, which was on 22.01 before. I've reinstalled to get the box to zfs.

          I've started this thread thread

          any suggestions?

            This worked yesterday (April 21) however was not able to run the upgrade from 2.6 to plus. today, getting error:

            Retrieving Unable to check for updates

            Tried all the suggestions above. No joy. Could someone look at the upgrade server endpoints if there was a change blocking?

            Thanks!

              I had to copy cert files from a running box to the installation with issues and then it worked...

              /etc/ssl
              -rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel   7544 Feb 15 16:54 pfSense-repo-custom.cert
              -rw-------   1 root  wheel   3242 Feb 15 16:54 pfSense-repo-custom.key

                      I have open up a ticket with Netgate support and they made changes on their end to fix this issue. Try to update now and see if it works with you now but if it doesn't open up Netgate support ticket and they will you fix this for free.

                        @adelaide_guy Same blocker. Next, opened a support ticket. Appears they need a cert output from in-place upgraded CE system to correct their backend (asked if the system was in-place upgraded CE migrating to Plus or newly downloaded CE v2.6 upgrading to Plus - might be different fix routes). Anyways Netgate support was awesome! Migration from CE to Plus is complete.
