        Ok, so those crashes all appear to be in memory management. I would run a few cycles of memtest to be sure it's not bad RAM.

        Try running pfSense-upgrade -d to get more debug output.

              Hi,
              From the command line are you able to ping outside sites by name, for example to www.yahoo.com, or some known site? Looks like you don't have access to internet.
              Thanks, and best regards,
              HeCSa.

                I ping yahoo.com using ping -c 5 yahoo.com , the output is

                      Try: pkg-static -d update

                      That should give a more useful error.

                        You probably need to run: certctl rehash

                          after running command certctl rehash and png-static -d update I get the following hints

                          Newer FreeBSD version for package xxd:
To ignore this error set IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes
- package: 1400094
- running kernel: 1400085
Ignore the mismatch and continue? [y/N]: pkg-static: repository pfSense contains packages for wrong OS version: FreeBSD:14:amd64
Processing entries... done
Unable to update repository pfSense
Error updating repositories!

                          I think it is close to the right way

                            Yes, it must be seeing the pkgs to be able to throw that error so try to upgrade again.

                              ok, I'm upgrading the system now. I wonder whether upgrading the system affects the packages I've installed. I have a Wireguard package installed in the 2.7.0 version os, after upgrading, it should be ok or I will reconfigured it? thanks~

                                Should be fine. The packages will be upgraded and the config retained.

                                    @stephenw10 thanks to your guide, I've upgrade my os to 2.7.2 successfully! I'll watch whether the crash occurs again.

                                        Hmm, same crash too. I would definitely run some passes through memtest to check the RAM.

                                          @stephenw10 I've run a memtest to the memory, report this

                                          it is actually bad RAM!

DBG(1)[97341]> CURL> attempting to fetch from , left retry 2

                                            After the rehash, this was fixed and the packages re-appeared in the GUI.
                                            Many thanks.
