        @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).

                                Hello guys,

                                Nothing helped. But in the end, I went to Diagnostics-Backup & Restore and at the bottom is Reinstall all packages. Suddenly everything started to work properly.

                                  @jasongreb Same over here in 4 different installs on different customers plus my homelab, went from pfsense CE to pfsense Plus a few days ago, empty "Avaliable packages" list, tried other options (at least the ones that didn't seem too drastic) but this one is the one that worked. Thanks!

                                      Thanks it worked running pfsense 23.05. I think this should be fixed?

                                        It should be fixed in 23.05. If you were running a 23.05 dev/beta/rc snapshot it's possible you got stuck on an older version on pfSense-upgrade that still had this bug.

                                            @yaw sounds like a bug to me. I'm seeing the same thing on CE 2.7.0
