      Sorry for my english but when i upgrade from 2.3.3, it's show "Unable to check for updates".
      And when i try to update from console (13, command,...), it's show "Authentication error".
      Here is a logs:

      Updating repositories metadata...
      Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
      pkg: https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_3_amd64-core/meta.txz: Authentication error
      repository pfSense-core has no meta file, using default settings
      pkg: https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_3_amd64-core/packagesite.txz: Authentication error
      Unable to update repository pfSense-core

      pkg: https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_3_amd64-pfSense_v2_3_3/packagesite.txz: Authentication error
      Unable to update repository pfSense

      I was check DNS, network still work pretty well, and i'm not using proxy. I just using clean install (My situation is i cant install anything but 2.3.3 - because that's my VPS, and VPS provider only have 1 disk 2.3.3).
      I try with my solution on the internet, but nothing work.

      "fetch pkg: https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_3_amd64-core/meta.txz: Authentication error
      fetch: pkg:: Invalid URL scheme
      fetch: https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_3_amd64-core/meta.txz:: No address record
      fetch: Authentication: No such file or directory
      fetch: error: No such file or directory
      "
      A link seem to be dead :(

      I tried with this solution here but the result is the same: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/97952/issues-updating-from-2-3-rc-or-older-2-3-installs-to-2-3-release

      "fetch -v https://packages.pfsense.org
      looking up packages.pfsense.org
      connecting to packages.pfsense.org:443
      SSL options: 83004bff
      Peer verification enabled
      Using CA cert file: /usr/local/etc/ssl/cert.pem
      fetch: https://packages.pfsense.org: Authentication error"

      i tried with this command: pkg update; pkg upgrade pkg
      and here is a results:
      "pkg update; pkg upgrade pkg

      i tried to link cert file, edit https to http in conf file, and many solution on google, even re-install many times, but nothing work :(

      Please help me, thank you very much!
      p.s: if i cant update, could i reinstall 2.4.4 without USB or DVD? (i can reinstall my VPS with many OS like ubuntu, centos, even freeBSD...).
      Again, thanks for helping me.
