pfSense updates & Package Manager not working correctly
-
What pfSense version are you running?
That sounds more like a client side issue. Have you tried multiple browsers? Different client devices?
-
@Gertjan Yes, those are the screens I'm seeing with exception. System > Update is what I meant, not updates... that was a typo I guess. When I choose that it takes me to the Package Manger page, not an update page.
My Package Manager page looks like yours as well and seems to work, however when I click on an install button it just takes me back to installed packages and says none are installed. I never get to the screen shot you provided with the confirm button. I never see a Package Installer choice on my page.
As far as a working IPv6 connection... I don't know. I've never really utilized IPv6 and don't know much about it. From googling around it seems that T-Mobile Home Internet is IPv6 only and uses some sort of 464xlat translation. I read somewhere, where the router does CLAT out of the box and offers IPv4 to the local network. Then from the router onwards it's all IPv6, and from the edge of the T-Mobile network to the rest of the IPv4 internet, it's IPv4 again. I don't know what any of that means. So to answer your questions about having a working iPv6 connection, I am not sure. Does my pfSense have a working connections, again, not sure.
Let's say I do have an IPv6 connection since T-Mobile Home internet seems to be IPv6 at its core. How do I give pfSense a working connection?
And if I do not have an IPv6 connection how do I tell pfSense I do not so that it doesn't think I do?
I can try both setups to see if I get different results. Right now I believe I have IPv6 turned off but perhaps I missed a section or something. It seems like there are SEVERAL pages in pfSense concerning iPv6.

@stephenw10 It's a new install of 2.7.2-Release (amd64)

So when you go here System> Update
You should see this :
(minor detail : I'm not using 2.7.2 but pfSense Plus Beta5 and 6 is coming up )
but you see this :
Humm.
Re install ?!
Something's is very bad. -

@Gertjan That's exactly what I see. No matter what I do I cannot for the life of me get to the update page or in the package manager, I can't install a package. I have searched EVERYWHERE for hours about getting IPv6 to work on pfSense when using T-Mobile Home internet and it seems it can't be done. So then I just set pfSense to disable IPv6 all together and that didn't work either. I am at a total loss. I feel defeated.

@stephenw10 I have not. I suppose I should try that before I abandon this whole project. I just hate the thought because it took me a week to get pfSense working on the Mac mini through a proxmox vm with the thunderbolt 2 NICS. So many settings and tick boxes and configurations only to end up getting stuck here. FML

@stephenw10 ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! Well... your suggestion solved my issue apparently. I was accessing pfSense through the webgui on my mac with Safari. After my last response to you I quit safari and loaded up chrome and was able to access those pages. Any idea as to why I couldn't access them through Safari?

Usual suspects are some browser plugin blocking a script or similar. Though I've never seen that particular behaviour before.
