      Hi,

      Just taken delivery of a new SG-1100, which is great.

      I'm attempting to install some additional packages on to the unit but when I'm tying to use the pkg add command, I'm getting an "Authentication error" returned due to what looks like a certificate verification issue:

      [2.4.5-RELEASE][admin@pfsense]/root: pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:aarch64/latest/All/snappy-1.1.6.txz

      Using OpenSSL to test the connection to pkg.freebsd.org I get the following:

      [2.4.5-RELEASE][admin@pfsense]/root: openssl s_client -connect pkg.freebsd.org:443

      The verify code at the end looking good and although it should be fine for applications to verify the Let's Encrypt cert and connect to the site.

      My ca_root_nss package is v3.51 (latest), I've tried force reinstalling and checked that all cert directories are symlinked correctly.

      Is there something I'm missing here? Does pkg use some other source for verifying certificates or could this be a bug?

      pfSense v2.4.5-p1

        @mikeyjb said in "pkg add" Authentication error connecting to pkg.freebsd.org + Let's Encrypt cert:

        pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:aarch64/latest/All/snappy-1.1.6.txz

        No such error on 2.4.5-p1 (SG-3100):

          as a workaround you can simply fetch pkg:

          [2.4.5-RELEASE][root@pf1100.home.int]/root: fetch https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:aarch64/latest/All/snappy-1.1.6.txz
snappy-1.1.6.txz                                        58 kB  245 kBps    00s
[2.4.5-RELEASE][root@pf1100.home.int]/root: pkg install snappy-1.1.6.txz

            Awesome, thanks @viktor_g :)

            I'm pretty new to BSD so was hoping there might be a workaround. Appreciate you taking the time to set it out 👍
