      @stephenw10 I have the dashboard check disabled so that might explain why I've seen the empty list a few times.

        @dem Same here as it slows dashboard loading so much when you login.

          Weird. Some boxes are effected and what I see on these is

            Is that instant / real-time ? Because I see this on a working box:

            mv /etc/ssl/pfSense-repo-custom.cert /etc/ssl/pfSense-repo-custom.cert.TESTING

pfSense-upgrade -c
>>> Updating repositories metadata... done.

            It seemingly completed fine. But now there is no /etc/ssl/pfSense-repo-custom.cert

              That's the cert for the CE > Plus upgrade repo. The dynamic repo cert is passed with the repo details and, yes, it's updated close to instantly:

                  Went nuclear after nothing worked.

                  mkdir /root/backup && cp -r /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos /root/backup/ && rm -rf /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos && pfSense-upgrade -c -d

                  Resolved it on that instance.

                    I'm having this same issue as I mistakenly acquired a new token thinking I would need one after changing out the OS Drive. the system automatically activates itself with the old token and then drops the SSL certs after about a week. the registration option is grayed out so I have no means of fixing it

                        @bavcon22 , not quite. mine is automatically registered for PFsense+ and will install the PFsense+ upgrade after being reinstalled from disk, but after about a week it loses access to the PFsense+ package repo until I reinstall the entire thing again. additionally, because it thinks it's registered already it wont let me input a new activation key.

                        Thank you though!

                          What error are you actually seeing when this happens?

                          If you send me your NDI in chat I can check it.

                            Try this

                            mkdir /root/backup && cp -r /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos /root/backup/ && rm -rf /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos && pfSense-upgrade -c -d

                              @stephenw10 was able to help me resolve it but i'm pretty sure this would have fixed it also.
                              Many thanks!

                                I am having this same issue. I'm building out a new pfSense setup, started on CE and installed a few packages. Applied my Plus configuration and upgraded to 23.01. Now I can no longer see any available packages. It's is resolving, but the certificate is apparently not being passed as I'm getting a 400 Bad Request error. Has this been resolved yet? Is there something I should be doing differently?

                                    Yup try the instructions on that bug report first, resave the update repo path. If you just upgraded that's probably the cause.

                                        Hey everyone, this was fixed for me by going to System / Update / Update Settings and clicking the Save button without making any changes. Once I did that, the package list came up (I may have forced a refresh too).
