      ok guess i can change.. i never altered settings
      how i set it up was
      install pfsense.. setup wan to ppoe and my login and password.. and then i followed the instructions for the nordvpn tutorial as you see above.. i never played with any other settings nore would i know anything about that..
      thats all i did
      install pfsense
      setup wan ppoe
      setup nordvpn via tutorial and boom done..
      and i didnt have the issue in 2.4.3 only noticed this issue after i upgraded to 2.4.4 and then i was having squid proxy cache errors show up internet explorer and google chrome which i had another forum going and they just said scrap squid proxy and thats when i was finding no more package manager and then the no more dnslook ups etc

      as for dont pull routes i already have that set was part of the tutorial too if i recall

          You might still have states open using the old route. They will die eventually.
          Check the routing table to make sure the new default route is there.

          I'm convinced that 10.8.8.9 gateway is wrong though, and that's the root of the problem.

          But moving away from a default route over the VPN will prevent that problem being an issue for the firewall.

            and like i mentioned i figured there must be a check box or maybe its my isp?

            my sister basiclly has exact same setup installed the pfsense.. set up her ppoe wan... setup the nordvpn via the tutorial and both hers and mine running 2.4.4 now and no issues on the package manager..just difference is 2 different computer styles as the pfsense ... and i didnt have squid proxy on hers... then i was thinking maybe from the squid left something buggering up mine? you know like windows even if you dont fully uninstall it leaves something then buggers up.. could that possibly happen... im just guessing now

                so if the root of problem is the 10.8.8.9 i will do chat support with nordvpn to find out if that is correct or not

                  That routing table looks more sane. Did that correct the problem with packages?

                        what isnt working right now is the package manger isnt showing the packages to install... cuz i was looking at the time when i uninstalled squid proxy and checked package manager... and i wanted temperature sensors motherboard monitor to see cpu .. but it cant read my motherboard and its a new motherboard and cpu.. but no biggy if i cant get temperature ..

                        so always set the default gateway to wan in the system/route.. see i never knew that because it wasnt part of the nord tutorial

                        but least this is showing potential so when it was set to automatic what was it doing bouncing back and forth wan and vpn

                          Try running these:

                          pkg-static clean -ya
                          pkg-static install -yf pkg
                          pkg-static install -yf pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade

                          Those should be safe from Diagnostics > Command Prompt but I would run them from the shell (Menu option 8, type exit when done.)

                              OK so another package management process was already running at the time. Try it again?

                              No need for a monitor. You can enable ssh.
