      Hi all, i was connected remotelly through pfsense openVPN.
      I lunch update then i suddenly lost connection.
      when i reconnect, the update page stuck on .... [7/160] ....
      now pfsense doesn't work properly anymore, example i cant ssh with admin anymore,
      CARP doesnt sync to backup fw anymore cause the backup is version 2.7.2, but main stick on 2.7.0, but it says no update need.
      seems cant see the update anymore cause maybe donwload some files not all.
      Please there is a way to fix this via ssh but not admin user just my user with admin group.

      thanks.

          @Tony-Soprano re: no update, is it this?
          https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/2-7-1.html#troubleshooting

          If pfSense was downloading through OpenVPN, that is going to restart as it’s updated. Next time I would temporarily allow port 443 on WAN from only your remote IP.

          Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
          When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
