      Hi

      when I got a new APU box I took a good backup of old box and installed it on the new box.

      On the time of installation the new APU did not have internett.

      Now I see this:

      As you can se I have services status, like iperf ready to run.

      When I try to run iperf it don't start.

      When i check Installed packages there are no:

      How do I solve this?

        By applying the rules ;)
        Here they are : https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/upgrades.html

        Btw : most known reason : pfSense (your box) can't contact the 'pfSEnse package file server' because IT failure number one : "The DNS is broken".
        Reason 2 : the pfSense package server is like any other server, it can be unavailable for some maintenance. This happens (rarely).

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          If it had no internet when you restored the config it would not have been able to pull in the packages.
          If it now does have internet the easiest thing is to just restore the config again. That will trigger the package reinstall after it boots.
