      The auto update service says

      Could not contact pfSense update server http://updates.pfsense.org/_updaters/amd64

      Yet I can use the SSH console and execute

      [2.1-RELEASE][admin@firewall.somewhere.net]/root(14): telnet updates.pfsense.org 80

      and then GET /_updaters/amd64/
      and I see a list of gz images. Is there anything wrong with my setup?

        Do you have multiwan? Ipv6 enabled?
        This can cause your symptoms: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Controlling_IPv6_or_IPv4_Preference

        Also have a look through the suggestions in this thread: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,68164.0.html
