      Hello I'm on 2.4.1-RELEASE, this install was fresh install that I restored a working config on.
      Today i was going t install a new package but when i go to System / Package Manager / Available Packages all I see is There are no packages available.

      Opened  command line and ran "pkg update" and I get "No active remote repositories configured."

      I read a few post about checking my DNS, my DNS are configured under System / General Setup / DNS servers and WAN PPPOE as the gateway.

      Everything looks good to me, what could be the issue?

      Thank you.

        First, go to System > Update, Update Settings tab and select a branch there and save. The Stable branch is the one you want. If that doesn't let it check, select the 2.4.3 snapshot development branch and then switch back to the stable branch.

            Quite strange. That suggests that your entire repository configuration is missing. The easiest way to recover is likely going to be a quick reinstall and recovery as outlined here: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Automatically_Restore_During_Install#Recover_config.xml

            Repairing it manually is possible but there is no telling what else is wrong beyond that one problem, a reinstall is quicker and safer in the long run.

              Re-installing and restoring my configuration worked and now I can see packages, thank you.
