      @stephenw10 I never setup users nor have I had this issue over the years I’ve used pfsense. Bad install?

      Thanks for all the responses.

          @stephenw10 sorry for the lack of clarity, yes, and SSH was root.

            Hmm. Do you have the update check disabled perhaps?

            Do you see any available packages in the Package Manager?

                        Hmm, that feels like some issue in the route.

                        As before though try running pkg-static -d update to see why it can't see packages.

                            Hmm, that looks OK. I wouldn't expect any issues from that output.

                            Yet you are still seeing 'Unable to check for updates when it shows that?

                                    That's not the 'output' of this question :

                                    @stephenw10 said in 2.7.2 Unable to check for update:

                                    What doe you see from the output of: pfSense-upgrade -d ?

                                    No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                                    Edit : and where are the logs ??
