pfsense available packages empty

Im sorry, looks like pfBlocker blocked someting, as I looked the protocoll result, I saw it went to 10.10.10.1 pf blocker...I switched off pfblocker, and now packages appear again!
Must find out now, why pfBlocker is causing this, at less, I now know, what to look for! Thank you very much!!

pkg+http://pkg.goxdrive.com.br/repo/FreeBSD:14:amd64/packagesite.pkg
That should not be there. It's some other pkg repo that could be pulling in conflicting pkgs.
That must have been added manually at some point. You should remove it or at least comment it out if you still see problems.

DBG(1)[78285]> PkgRepo: verifying update for Unofficial
Lol ... a PC, ok, a phone, why not. But now the firewall wants to take updates from "goxdrive.com.br".
pfSense was trying to take packages from an 'unknown' source.
As per admin instructions .....
Non-pfSense packages can, and often will, break pfSense.
Consider your system as 'non safe' from this moment.Fastest solution : re install. This will bring you back to a save state and solve your issue.

Thanks for help, Ill fix that goxdrive.com.br, yes, I wanted to add additional pkg sources, but will never try or do it again. Thanks for bearing with me, sadly a selfmade problem, shame on me! I havent installed anything from that additional pkg source, just wanted to "checkout" what they have :( Problem is fixed, removed that PROBLEMMAKER pkg source, and now its working allf ine again, Learning never stops, will not try in future, to add other pkg sources aynmore.

Oh, but you can
Just keep in mind what is said here.
Read the entire page, "agree with it" and you'll be fine.For other, non official FreeBSD repositories : its like cleaning your gun with the safety off, and a bullet loaded : be ware of the potential consequences.
No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
Edit : and where are the logs ?? -
Yup there is a danger that any alternative repo may contain conflicting pkgs that don't have some customization that pfSense needs. Those can get pulled in and break stuff!

Ill avoid that, after that lesson, well, nothing bad has happened, luckily.Im Newbie, on pfsense, been using OpenWRT for years, and wanted to learn new things, as I got now a cool x86 Box with 6 *2,5GB NICs. The only thing I miss, from OpenWRT is Smart Queue Management SQM, that has been performing much better then the bufferbloat fix on pfsense with CoDel.
But Im not complaining, maybe we get SQM one day in future, also on pfsense. With OWRT I had bufferbloat values < 1 second or 1-2 seconds ...with pfsense and codel...I couldnt reach these fantastic values...but overall, many things are better configurable via GUI in pfsense and Im OK with all myself, cheers and greetings from Berlin, Germany, Stay safe and well!

@stephenw10 Thanks for your help, really brought me on the way, to find out the reason. Now all works fine, and as I didnt installed anything from that pkg source, there shouldnt be any problem. THe pkg GUI is working again without any problems. Wonderfull

Just did a test myself .... Totally forgot about that 'buffer bloat' thing.

As I left 'ADSL' (VDSL) behind me last year, fiber now, I'm not looking for a Milli second here and another Milli second there.
better yet : my upload (about 850 Mbit) is as advertised, but I guess a college is downloading 'something', as my download should be the same.Also, my pfSense is behind a 'ISP' router that handles the RJ45 to 'Led laser light' conversion.
I'm not using any shaper what so ever.

I from time to time, also love to game, and there, buffbloat fixing is important, congrats to you, to have fiber connection!! Me only on cable internet 1000 MBit (LOL, Vodafone promise is a lie, only keeps that speed in deep night, as cable internet is a shared connection, in evenings, often bad bufferbloat values and speeds below 1000 MBit) and my uplload as always in Germany, is sadly asynchron, limited to only 50 MBit upload sadly. But its all OK, I as a private person/user, can live with that. Enjoy your Fiber connection!! Hope one day, we will also be able to benefit Fiber Quality connections. SQM is just, fantastic on OpenWRT, best for fixing bufferbloat with SQM and piece_of_cake setup.
