      no packages in package manager..

      ISP issue or anything else?

      it is getting harder every day to connect to external internet...

      there must be an option for manual package installation/update

        Using pfSense default settings ?
        This issue is often seen when DNS settings are 'changed' (the default ones will work).
        What does the Status > System Logs > System > DNS Resolver log tell you ?
        Or, FreeBSD (pfSense) thinks it can use IPv6 - or it's unusable / not set up correctly.

        You tell us what wrong, and we'll tell you what's up ^^

        edit : pfsense manual package problems check any of them.

              All these domains have probably more then one A record.
              These domains expose functions to the public that should be reachable all over the planet "what ever happens", for the entire planet.
              Or, the alias uses the domain to get one (1) A. NOT all the A records.
              The next time it refreshed, another A might get inserted. (and the firewall is reloaded because an alias changed).

              To make a long story short : you can't use the alias functionality to create a matching rules that finds 'facebook.com' or 'youtube.com' : it won't work.
              Aliases works fine for one to one relation between a domain and an IP address.

              If you want to filter for example, "rad.live.com", use pfBlockerNG-devel.

              You have only "filterdns" lines in the DNS log ? No unbound logs ?

                    Impressive.
                    The last time your unbound restarted was some 6 months ago.
                    Just to be sure : goto Status > Services and restart unbound.

                    Ah .... that's another problem. Systems using the wrong time is a nice starting point for very random, strange errors.

                        Your Gateway log lines :
                        You can check the led on your WAN NIC : it's probably not lit any more, as the link is down : the device on the other side "pulled the plug" ....
                        That's when dpinger starts to spit out "sendto error: 65" messages.

                        Two seconds later, some IP address is assigned to the WAN (by the DHCP client on WAN) = 10.125.190.113 which work out.
                        If your WAN interface has 10.125.190.113 then the "dest_addr" couldn't be 10.125.190.113 - it should be something else = the gateway.

                        For me this means you should - as stated above - inform the DHCP client to wait 10 or 20 seconds, after the WAN comes up.
                        Now, the modem (is it a modem ?) wakes up it's LAN side interface, but is not ready at all to handle = transfer DHCP requests to the ISP because de modem uplink isn't established yet.

                        Anyway : first : set the time manually. And check if the local clock actually works by shutting down the device a minute or so. When rebooted pfSense, the time should still be somewhat ok.
                        Only then the NTP process will do the fine calibration.

                        Your General log is telling you all over the place to use the correct time.

                          you are right, actually WAN GW is 10.125.190.254

                          as per your advice I changed settings to no interface (wildcard) and relaunched NTP service and everything works fine now, even package manager. All packages are in the place available for downloading.

                          Thank you
