      Thanks, but the problem is that there is no option to choose the 2.5 version:

            Yeah without internet, there can be no update!

                does the OP use the NGFW for something?
                would he / she notice if there was no internet or not? 😉

                  Ran into a problem like this on an SG-1100 I was attempting to update for testing builds of Snort and Suricata on ARM hardware. This particular SG-1100 had been in storage for quite a while and still contained the 2.4.4_p2 image. When powered on, it would not show an update to either 2.4.5 nor 2.5 (21.02 for ARM appliances). No matter what I tried, it would not show an available update.

                  The only solution that worked was to request a current system image from Netgate Support and perform a fresh install. Since this was a testing box, I did not import a previous config and just started over from defaults.

                    Hi Bill,
                    Did you have a similar output?

                    Network is unreachable

                    PS:
                    the current FW 2.4.5-p1 (0.86) - it looks good

                    Cats bury it so they can't see it!

                      I don't recall the exact error, but pkg appeared to be attempting to find the repo using a bad name (or maybe a deprecated one). But yes, I did get errors on the command line when trying to run pkg-static and other similar commands as it tried to grab the repo metadata.

                        perhaps the OP could see something of this from the history

                        cat /conf/upgrade_log.latest.txt

                          Some of this may also be related to the particular manner in which the pfSense/Netgate team "pulled" the update for the SG-3100. For me it was an issue only on my ARM appliance (the SG-1100). All of my x86 virtual machines can see the updates.

                            Yep,

                            I have already asked the OP (above) if it uses an SG-3100
                            there is no answer yet

                              Thank you for all the input.
                              "Network is unreachable" got me thinking of the GW settings. The FW have dual WAN with policy-based routing and the default GW was set to "Automatic".
                              After I manually selected a WAN interface as the default gateway, the FW managed to get information about the new 2.5 version.

                              Thanks for all the input and help!
