      Hi Guru's I have a problem and maybe it has something to do with pfsense. I have a vps running with linux and it needs to do a update and there for it needs to download new packages but it can't.

      The file that it's tried to download is on:
      http://mirror1.freepbx.org/modules/packages/pm2/pm2-16.0.8.tgz.gpg

      When I download the file manually it works only when I trie to do a ping on it from the VPS it says: Name or service unknown:

      ping mirror1.freepbx.org/modules/packages/pm2/pm2-16.0.8.tgz.gpg

        You cannot ping a file name, but only a host name or an IP address. So you can at best

        ping mirror1.freepbx.org
