I wouldn't worry too much. Mods will see in forum.

Yeah. But it's a bit embarrasing that for everybody out there running pfsense systems, we're now stuck without being able to install new packages just because someone somewhere hasn't a proper monitoring of something and someone somewhere has to wake up on this Saturday, check the forums, see the 2 threads about it, think "shit!" and fix it.

any options to install from command line? Trying to setup the OpenVPN Export wizard.

Working for me now as well, but I had to manually force an update via the cmd line: /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static update -f

I'm now having this issue, I was able to update the day before.

@zitstif looks like a very different issue.

Certificate verification failed for /C=SE/O=AddTrust AB/OU=AddTrust External TTP Network/CN=AddTrust External CA Root

Is what we were experiencing before.

I'm getting an issue in 23.05 doing a pkg update.

my browser shows the cert expires in 2122 which is likely the cause of the problem.

Not sure how negate create a 99 year cert.

any work arounds?

The cert error you see when updating against 23.05 is not related to this ancient thread. It's probably because the pkg repo is using data for the wrong branch. The first thing to try here is to go to Sys > Update > Update Settings and resave 23.05 as the elected branch. That will copy in the correct certs and keys for 23.05.
