Mirrors no longer have older versions of pfSense - 403 Forbidden
-
On page https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/book/install/download-installer-image.html there is a link "For older versions of pfSense software, look in the Software Archive" (https://atxfiles.pfsense.org/mirror/downloads/old/). However that returns a "403 Forbidden" error as does the /old directory on other mirrors. Not sure if that is intentional and the book needs updating, or if it's a problem on the mirrors...?
We have generally not been saving downloaded installers, assuming they would continue to be available for download... :)

I saw the URL with the old downloads this morning on this forum .
I'll post it here as soon I get Google working for me again. -
Pretty sure they no longer provide OLD versions.. I believe they were removed when 2.3.x reached EOL..

Ah, looks like this was discussed a few months back:
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/135395/where-to-download-old-versions/7Intentionally removed because they are insecure, and we should maintain downloaded copies if we want them.
