      For some reason, my pfSense installation is up to date with the current 2.4.5_1 version, regardless which branch I am checking towards.
      Any ideas what I could to trigger the 2.5.0 update from the gui?

      Thanks!

        Hi,
        Somehow, so give it a try 😉

        unless you are using f.e.: SG-3100 😉

              Thanks, but the problem is that there is no option to choose the 2.5 version:

                    Yeah without internet, there can be no update!

                        does the OP use the NGFW for something?
                        would he / she notice if there was no internet or not? 😉

                          Ran into a problem like this on an SG-1100 I was attempting to update for testing builds of Snort and Suricata on ARM hardware. This particular SG-1100 had been in storage for quite a while and still contained the 2.4.4_p2 image. When powered on, it would not show an update to either 2.4.5 nor 2.5 (21.02 for ARM appliances). No matter what I tried, it would not show an available update.

                          The only solution that worked was to request a current system image from Netgate Support and perform a fresh install. Since this was a testing box, I did not import a previous config and just started over from defaults.

                            Hi Bill,
                            Did you have a similar output?

                            Network is unreachable

                            PS:
                            the current FW 2.4.5-p1 (0.86) - it looks good

                              I don't recall the exact error, but pkg appeared to be attempting to find the repo using a bad name (or maybe a deprecated one). But yes, I did get errors on the command line when trying to run pkg-static and other similar commands as it tried to grab the repo metadata.

                                perhaps the OP could see something of this from the history

                                  Some of this may also be related to the particular manner in which the pfSense/Netgate team "pulled" the update for the SG-3100. For me it was an issue only on my ARM appliance (the SG-1100). All of my x86 virtual machines can see the updates.

                                    I have already asked the OP (above) if it uses an SG-3100
                                    there is no answer yet

                                      Thank you for all the input.
                                      "Network is unreachable" got me thinking of the GW settings. The FW have dual WAN with policy-based routing and the default GW was set to "Automatic".
                                      After I manually selected a WAN interface as the default gateway, the FW managed to get information about the new 2.5 version.

                                      Thanks for all the input and help!
