Updates timeout connecting to pkg.pfsense.org.
-
Hi,
I'm trying to update from 2.3.2 to the newest version. However, the update keeps failing when trying to download packages from pkg.pfsense.org. Is it supposed to be using pkg.pfsense.org?
dig pkg.pfsense.org @ns1.netgate.com
…gives:

that is never going to work because pkg.pfsense.org is not a A record its SRV record..
Dig for
_http._tcp.pkg.pfsense.orgor
dig _https._tcp.pkg.pfsense.org
example
dig _http._tcp.pkg.pfsense.org SRV

Thanks for the quick reply and explanation. I didn't realized it was using a SRV record. I'm likely seeing a localized issue since I see now that it fails (randomly) on different packages. Sorry for the noise.
