      @Supermule:

      Why are you unable to check for updates??

      I'm not sure.  If I copy and paste the update link from the failure message it loads on my PC fine and the package list updates on pfSense fine so I'm still really dumbfounded.

                We need access to that box because something is wrong.

                And I bet thats why its slow. Are you using any specified GW's on any other interface than WAN??

                    WAN IPs are public (Only 1 IP currently in use in our IP range).

                    Only 1 gateway specified and that's the WAN IF.  Remote access won't be possible, IT manager would lose his &#@&.

                    I'm in the process of setting up a 2nd pfSense VM (With only Open VM Tools installed) from the 2.1.5 install image and I'll manually setup rules and config again so no bad config comes across.  If I can get it working like that then I'll add snort back in and hope that it all works.

                      That sounds like a reasonable action.

                        Ipv4/v6 issue can cause update check failure.

                        https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Controlling_IPv6_or_IPv4_Preference

                        Could it be ipv6 enabled sites that are loading slowly?
