Cannot connect to netgate servers during fresh pfsense install
-
Can you post a link for the offline installer?

I had mine set up with a LAN port connected to the existing router. No WAN connection.
Ah, OK. You should still have been able to add the existing router as a gateway in the installer to make that work. I assume that's where you were adding the gateway in the CLI.
-
@stephenw10 The installer did not give me an option to add a gateway. At least not an obvious one. I attempted to look.
Maybe a check for a gateway could be included in the script.
-
Hmm, should be there if you configure the interface as static IP.
-
@stephenw10 I tried with both DHCP and static. In neither case was I informed that a gateway could not be established. Rather, the script just failed out. The script could possibly ask the user if they would like to identify a gateway, as one could not be found.
Thanks for listening!
-
Hmm when you set an interface as static you should see the option to set a gateway. When you select it you see:
-
@stephenw10 I don't recall. Perhaps it was presented, but I reduced its importance because the install script failed out anyway. If I have the appropriate time, I can test it again.

Hello @stephenw10 ,
I have the same issue with the same ntp failure.
Tried ntpdate -q with error "no servers can be used, exiting" ...Did you find a solution to this ?
-
It's fixed in the coming installer build.
-
@stephenw10 Hello! Great news! Do you have an estimation on when will it be available ?
-
As soon as possible! I can't be more accurate than that though. We are fixing and testing as fast as we can.

Hi, any news when this will be fixed?
-
Still as soon as possible. It's fixed in internal builds but we need to complete testing on that and a raft of other fixes.

What a S&^t show - someone needs their head read trying to make an online only router installer. Have to be the most $$ driven decision ive seen from Netgate to date.

I have the very similar issue, but the problem is not with ntp but with PING. In my setup there is no option to allow ICMP packets. With this installer I can't install pfSense+ without functional ping?
curl -I to group3.sites.hscoscdn00.net get no error -

From the installer after it fails?
Can you curl
https://ews.netgate.com? -
Yes it is working.

@stephenw10
And this is the error log from which I think that the issue is PING result ;(
It is in daemon.log
-
Hmm, the next version will not require any other link check, including ping.
