MD5 not matching File
-
MD5 should fit to the .zip file you download. If not: download again. I recently had some problems with downloading. The dark side is aganinst us…
If you have a .zip matching the MD5 / SHA unzip it and use win32diskimager (if you like Windows...)

old file system on USB does not matter, the image of pfsense is burned down bit-by-bit, as an image of a CD/DVD ;-)

I havn't done the USB thing for some months, but worked nicely in the past.
Start with verifying your download, otherwise the rest won't work.

Thank you for your reply I will continue DL'ing and Hash checking some more . I will let y'all know if it works.

Well now for 2 days I've been trying to DL i386 for memstick ,vga and I either get the untrusted sites or "unable to connect. "
My main browser is Firefox and I tried IE and same responses. My internet seems to be working fine for everything else.
I was hoping to continue DL'ing files to try to eventually get a MD5 hash match.
I only get a list of 6 mirrors. Options ?
-
I just went to:
Full install 2.2.4
i386
Memstick
VGA
and was given this as an option:http://files.atx.pfsense.org/mirror/downloads/pfSense-memstick-2.2.4-RELEASE-i386.img.gz
Downloaded it then:
$ openssl md5 pfSense-memstick-2.2.4-RELEASE-i386.img.gz
MD5(pfSense-memstick-2.2.4-RELEASE-i386.img.gz)= f45cd3be36e5c44704352caa9172b723$ cat pfSense-memstick-2.2.4-RELEASE-i386.img.gz.md5
MD5 (pfSense-memstick-2.2.4-RELEASE-i386.img.gz) = f45cd3be36e5c44704352caa9172b723$ openssl sha256 pfSense-memstick-2.2.4-RELEASE-i386.img.gz
SHA256(pfSense-memstick-2.2.4-RELEASE-i386.img.gz)= e83ba04ee81d7b8652608b7874fee8e98c2a78369b995007c3e2639849d5e6dd$ cat pfSense-memstick-2.2.4-RELEASE-i386.img.gz.sha256
SHA256 (pfSense-memstick-2.2.4-RELEASE-i386.img.gz) = e83ba04ee81d7b8652608b7874fee8e98c2a78369b995007c3e2639849d5e6ddWhere are you downloading from? Is there a proxy or something else mucking up your interwebs?

This came up before with someone else saying the mirrors were all messed up.. All testing I did was fine then, you got something messing with your downloads.. You trying to use some sort of download accelerator?
-
I go here to DL the files
https://pfsense.org/download/mirror.php?section=downloads
Select 1386 memstick vga and get these mirrors
Country Hosting by Location
US ESF Austin, TX USA …Untrusted
NL Coltex Amsterdam, Netherlands ...connection timed out
IE Webcore Cloud Ireland ... unable to connect try again
US BluegrassNet Louisville, KY USA ... unable to connect try again
US NYI New York City ...Untrusted
GB Peer Point Internet London, UK ... unable to connect try againThis is copy and paste of the message I get...
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to files.nyi.pfsense.org, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.
I am not using any kind of Downloader I am on Comcast currently using a sbg6580 and my main reason for going down this road is I cannot use the firewall and portforward through it.
I tried the link you put in your response and got the "Untrusted ....get me outa here" message.
To note I CAN get the MD5 download instantly no problem.
-
In addition I just downloaded Sandboxie and got a hash match so that all works at least for sandboxie.
My thought is to try to DL from the untrusted site from within sandboxie to at least see if I can get a hash match file.
-
Silly me I went to Dl from the Untrusted site through Sandboxie and realized there is NO option to Continue to the site its not just a warning its a roadblock.
This process is really killing my enthusiasm for the whole deal.

I do not get https links on any of the mirrors. You have something like https everywhere forcing https when it shouldn't?
I do agree it's bad form to have a site respond to https with a bad certificate, but it shouldn't stop you from downloading it.
Copy the link for the mirror you want, paste it in the location bar, and remove the s from https.
-
Haaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha. Please, uninstall your browser "improvements". There's been a thread about this not even a month ago.
-
pretty sure even if you download via https still works.. But yeah with dok on this, those links are not https - so your running something that is switching it.
I show for example those links as http://files.atx.pfsense.org/mirror/updates/pfSense-Full-Update-2.2.4-RELEASE-i386.tgz
If you have tried to go there before with https then browser can remember that, etc.
You should not be getting pointed to https in those links, they are all http.

So I just got this to happen with firefox 41, it likes to use https if you have on https for that site before. So I was getting links to https even though they don't work because I had been playing around with https on the previous threads about this.
i just cleared firefox cache, website prefs, etc.. And now it goes to http for all those mirrors like it suppose too.

Hmmm, so all those 3 DNS servers are behind a single switch? Sounds like that needs some redesign.
-
Ok heres one for all you beautifully smart people I do not have "https everywhere" as an addon in Firefox Chrome or IE.
The only reference to it was in Eset NOD32 my AV but the selection was greyed out so I temp disabled Nod32 and still no DL
Since its effecting all 3 browsers Im thinking it must be Windows or perhaps a Arris router setting that forces Https. ???? If possible ???
BUT I just tried DL from Firefox in NEW PRIVATE WINDOW and VIOLA !!!!!! It worked ! Hurray
now to see if hashes match….......
-
Aaah, the famous ESET MITM thing… @TIm:
The only reference to it was in Eset NOD32
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=93188.0
This "feature" is exactly as helpful in every AV out there.
-
OK I looked for an add-on for force HTTPS everywhere and found nothing.
There is a setting in Eset Nod32 for HTTP scanning but that's all greyed out so I didnt try to mess with it.
Disabled Nod32 and still didn't work.
Firefox, Chrome and IE would not go HTTP alone.
What finally did just work is 'New private window"
SO I just DL the first file and here are the hashes
pfSense-memstick-2.2.4-RELEASE-i386(1).img.gz f45cd3be36e5c44704352caa9172b723
MD5 12e914c5fe740ee55c8ebfa958fe16c2
Back to the beginning…... no matching hash
-
Yeah, dude. Reinstall that superscrewed box. (And skip ESET.)

Yeah, dude. Reinstall that superscrewed box. (And skip ESET.)
I can actually appreciate difficult issues like this because they are learning opportunities. I thank all of you for taking the time to help me out BUT when you just basically say F' it just reinstall
I'd at least like an explanation as to why you think that would be the best course. To me that sounds like 1st level tech support. Are there certain circumstances that can effect the hash process
to cause mismatch ?

Your internet is messing up your downloads. Call your ISP.
