Cannot connect to netgate servers during fresh pfsense install
-
@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.

After a lot of struggle this was my solution;
-
It seems a static ip in the 192.168.1.x range is restricted so I changed the ip address of my isp router to 192.168.13.x.

Powered off my pfsense1100 booted with usb (only the righter slot works) and pressed the [y] button a couple of times to prevent autoboot. Then I started the ‘recovery’ instead of ‘install’. And in the recovery I only opened the shell to ping a website and confirmed that my internetconnection was working. Then I typed exit to start with the install. And everything worked instantly.

During the install you get at 3 moments the feeling that everything is stuck. Especially during the last stage, -the real install- just wait for like 10 minutes.
