      @snigy sorry for the delay - been busy at work recently.

      It looks like you are running pfSense Plus. Please check your license is still valid.

        Any details? CE or Plus? Upgrade (or downgrade)?

            @da_Beast yeh so I had to reinstall router with settings I had backed up. Had to do a request to get an offline installer as I have ppoe. Was abug in the old version I had . Recommend to reinstall and re flash firmware. Bit of a pain but working solid now.

                  @Billy_C has it ever worked? Did you upgrade or downgrade?

                  What version of CE are you running?

                  Is this on physical hardware or are you running a VM? If VM, what hypervisor?

                    2.7.0-Release

                    Yes, maybe a year ago. Been a while since I looked but I have packages installed so it worked at some point.

                    Hardware. HP prebuilt 7700t

                      @Billy_C Looks like that is not a supported version anymore.

                      https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/versions.html#id12

                      I would upgrade it to the latest 2.7.2 and see if that resolves your issue.

                        @Billy_C try https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/2-7-1.html#troubleshooting

                        Or
                        https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/upgrades.html#upgrade-not-offered-library-errors

                        Don’t install packages unless you have the correct branch selected since it’ll cause problems.

                        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.

                          Thanks for all the replies.

                          I ran the upgrade in the command line

                          pfSense-upgrade -y
                          

                          and am on 2.7.2 now.

                          All packages seems to be populating again.
