      If you go to https://pkg01-atx.netgate.com/pfSense_v2_6_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_6_0/Latest/ you can download any of the files EXCEPT pkg.pkg.sig. This fails with an HTTP 403 from nginx. Something wrong on netgate's side?

      curl https://pkg01-atx.netgate.com/pfSense_v2_6_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_6_0/Latest/pkg.pkg.sig
      <html>
      <head><title>403 Forbidden</title></head>
      <body>
      <center><h1>403 Forbidden</h1></center>
      <hr><center>nginx</center>
      </body>
      </html>
      

      I discovered this when I ran

      pkg -vv 
      pkg: Warning: Major OS version upgrade detected.  Running "pkg bootstrap -f" recommended
      

      When I did this, I got the following

      Bootstrapping pkg from pkg+https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_6_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_6_0, please wait...
      Signature for pkg not available.
      pkg: Error fetching https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_6_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_6_0/Latest/pkg.pkg.sig: Forbidden
      

      Looking up the svc record, you can get the actual underlying mirror which allowed me to browse the actual full URL as described above

      dig _https._tcp.pkg.pfsense.org SRV
      ;; ANSWER SECTION:
      _https._tcp.pkg.pfsense.org. 60	IN	SRV	10 10 443 pkg00-atx.netgate.com.
      _https._tcp.pkg.pfsense.org. 60	IN	SRV	10 10 443 pkg01-atx.netgate.com.
