      I registered my device with the provided key... succeeded. Then I changed the update branch to [Upgrade: Latest PFSENSE AVAILABLE STABLE 23.05.1]. The system gives me a message Uptodate 2.7.

      What should I do to force the upgrade (if any)?

        Try running at the command line: pkg-static -d update

        What errors does it show?

            It's because you have an invalid repo configured:

            DBG(1)[81070]> Request to fetch https://packages.ntop.org/FreeBSD/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/meta.conf
            DBG(1)[81070]> opening libfetch fetcher
            DBG(1)[81070]> Fetch > libfetch: connecting
            DBG(1)[81070]> Fetch: fetching from: https://packages.ntop.org/FreeBSD/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/meta.conf with opts "i"
            

            The package system cannot authenticate that so it fails.

            Remove that custom pkg repo and it should work as expected.

              This is likely related to me following the process here to install ntop [(https://www.ntop.org/guides/ntopng/third_party_integrations/pfsense.html)] while trying to add my GeoIP license. I did follow the guide instructions to "Uninstall."

              Do you mind to elaborate on how to fix this issue? Thank you.

                Check in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos and remove any custom repo files there. Only FreeBSD and pfSense should exists there.

                  Issue resolved. I deleted the ntop.conf. Thank you.
