      I restored a backup of the pfsense config and now the client export utility is gone and I can't install it anymore. Happens the same with some other packages but some others work.

      The first link works and there is the file now download on my pc.

      Should I install it manually somehow? How can I do that, or what would be the solution?
      Thank you very much in advance!

        Dude, upgrade your pfSense. End of story.

          Fair enough.

          Unfortunately, it won't let me. Whole other ballgame. Signature fail, even if I disable it and when I try manual upgrade, it hangs forever on "Waiting on host".

            Yeah. Backup config, re-image with a supported version, restore config. Done.

              I'll have to eventually.

              How do I find out which type of pfSense I have? (I didn't install this one). Nano/full?

              On System Information, it says Platform: pfSense.

              When looking at the auto-upgrade URL, it shows updaters for nano-bsd, not that it would actually work to upgrade.

              How can I tell?

                That's full install. NanoBSD is removed with 2.4 altogether, do not touch.

                  Alright, thank you! I hope that's all I need to know for the fresh install.
