      Dear team

      Hope you are all doing well. I am reaching out to your regarding an issue. I am currently working on a virtual network topology where I am using pfSense vm between two WAN and I need to implement OpenVpn for that I need a missing package
      openvpn-client-export package.

      Whenever I tried to install the package from Webgui, it says "Please wait while the update system initializes" and nothing happens.
      Alternatively I tried visiting the package url link from my host machine but its unreachable
      https://packages.pfsense.org/packages/

      What would be the way to install the package? Thank you Zawad

        @hossazaw is DNS working on pfSense? (Diagnostics>DNS Lookup).

        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 reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

          What pfSense version are you using?

          Alternatively I tried visiting the package url link from my host machine but its unreachable
          https://packages.pfsense.org/packages/

          packages.pfsense.org doesn't resolve for me, how did you get this URL?

            Thank you for reaching out. I am using pfSense Community Edition 2.8. I had NAT adapter on it to connect it to the internet. Initially it was working then it broke I guess for all other VM in the topology. So I am redoing from scratch

              Thank you for the question. I am using pfSense Community Edition 2.8.

              I found the url on gpt and also searched for the package in the website but with no luck
