Avaliable Packages missing cant seem to find

comet424

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?

package manger still down.. but i can dnslookup and ping now and the pkg update command is looking better only 1 error it it now

Derelict

Looks better to me. What, exactly, isn't working?

comet424

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.)

i dont have monitor hooked up to the router right now... but here i took some pics it says locked.. but the package manger just showed up though .. and i forgot to take pics of the first command it did a whole list of lines of stuff

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

No need for a monitor. You can enable ssh.

It will give you command line access remotely over an encrypted connection.

oh ok does that mean it simulates or gives you access to the console screen like if i was at the pfsense computer.. like the different menu options 1 for interface etc
