          I'm pretty new to pfsense and BSD in general. I went wild with fixes all over this board, Reddit, and random google search results. It appears this has happened before (May 2020). The netgate team had to update certs on the webserver.

            Yep, I think you are correct.

              Not working either on a new install I was performing this Saturday.

              Interestingly, both https://files00.netgate.com/ and https://files01.netgate.com/ have a valid certificate:

              *  subject: OU=Domain Control Validated; OU=PositiveSSL Wildcard; CN=*.netgate.com
              *  start date: Mar 13 00:00:00 2019 GMT
              *  expire date: Apr 11 23:59:59 2021 GMT
              

              so clearly is something deeper in their setup... I guess we have to wait.

                Yeah, same for me on pgk upgrade && pkg update.

                Certificate verification failed for /C=SE/O=AddTrust AB/OU=AddTrust External TTP Network/CN=AddTrust External CA Root

                Let's wait and see

                  Can confirm this on latest stable pfSense factory. This does still happen after removing AddTrust CA from /usr/local/share/certs/ca-root-nss.crt (may we need to reboot?)

                  curl, openssl, etc. is choosing the correct certification path. fetch / pkg on freebsd seems to choose a different way for certification verification? Normally it should automatically ignore the AddTrust also its send from server and divert to system path and to go one of those two ways:
                  712dd960-4ee4-4734-a64b-e31e79fc7664-image.png

                  If i see it correctly, #1 must be possible for pfSense, as USERTrust RSA Certification Authority seems in system store.

                  Temporarily for urgent matter, it is strongly not recommended, but possible by disabling certification peer check via env SSL_NO_VERIFY_PEER=1 pkg update

                          Yeah. But it's a bit embarrasing that for everybody out there running pfsense systems, we're now stuck without being able to install new packages just because someone somewhere hasn't a proper monitoring of something and someone somewhere has to wake up on this Saturday, check the forums, see the 2 threads about it, think "shit!" and fix it.

                                          Working for me now as well, but I had to manually force an update via the cmd line: /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static update -f
