Unable to install packages looks like certificate error

BBcan177

Make sure to run that command as the "root" user. Also try:

pkg update -f

zdevlor

every package update i try gets the same error. I have other pfsense instances in my enterprise and they are working but this one is not.

Looks like you had some disk/file corruption if that file is not there?

Make sure your clock is OK, and also make sure the firewall is not behind a proxy that requires/forces authentication.

Routing all works and time is correct as well

Are you certain you don't have anything in front of that intercepting SSL? That looks nothing like the certificate subject you should be seeing from the package servers (files00.netgate.com and files01.netgate.com)

With no access, this file

pkg: Repository pfSense-core load error: access repo file(/var/db/pkg/repo-pfSense-core.sqlite) failed: No such file or director

can't be loaded, so it can't be found.

A WAN connection need to exist to update/upgrade.
