      @slkamath:

      You have this one :

      2.4.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
      built on Tue Dec 12 13:45:26 CST 2017
      FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p6
      
      The system is on the latest version.
      Version information updated at Wed Feb 14 16:04:16 CET 2018  
      
      

      and it proposes an upgrade ?
      Upgrade to what ? a dev version ?

      2.4.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) is the latest stable version.

      @slkamath:

      When you installed pfSense, did you change anything related to DNS ?
      Also : access the console and type

      host google.com
      

      did it resolve ?

      Btw : no, the update servers are not down. I can sync with them just fine.

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        Hi

        Thanks for replying.

        Upgraded to 2.4.2-RELEASE-p1(amd64).

        I tried running the below command, after that package manager is not showing.

        echo 'dnsthingy:{url: "https://storage.googleapis.com/downloads.dnsthingy.com/pfsense/pkg/'uname -m'",enabled: yes}' > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/dnsthingy.conf

        I tried this before upgrade and tried after upgrade to 2.4.2-RELEASE-p1. No luck. SO i think problem with the command.

        Once again thanks for replying.

          You are poking files into /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos …
          Something coming from "googleapis.com" ....
          "dnsthingy"  :o
          At least I'm sure now something isn't working well.
