      @bingo600 You should be able to do this now -- we have been working on this on the backend to track down the issue and I think we may have taken care of it.

      Please let me know.

          I am having a similar issue trying to update from 2.5.2 to 2.6.0.

          I show "Version 2.6.0 is available" on the dashboard.

          2022-03-26_07-50-17.png

          But, when I go to the updates page I get "Unable to check for updates".

            I'm seeing this problem as initially reported - 2.6.0 update checks succeed, but when changing the branch to Plus the update fails.

            Seeing this from the console - looks like cert errors connecting to ntop repo:

                  @zachtywebb A post in another thread suggested checking Perfer IPv4 under System->Advanced->Networking.

                  This allowed me to proceed with my upgrade.

                      @zachtywebb Good luck
                      I'm doing the upgrade now as I finally have time when I don't need to connect to work, and my wife is away for the weekend.

                        @traveller Thanks for the tip - didn't resolve for me (prefer was already checked, disabled ipv6 temporarily to see if that would help, it didn't.)

                          The issue persists and @Traveller provided the temporary solution. Thank you!

                            I was able to successfully upgrade from 2.5.2 to 2.6.0 to 22.01 last night without needing to set the prefer IPv4 option. Looks like whatever was going on has been fixed.

                              I'm still seeing the problem. If the service side has changed/fixed is there a cache to clear somewhere?

                              Specifically - still seeing ntop repo SSL validation errors. Pasting the upgrade command output is causing spam errors here :(

                                @traveller Thanks for the advice about preferring IPv4 when IPv6 is enabled I think it is ews.netgate.com that only has an IPv4 address, I also got the following errors when IPv6 was preferred so it looks like a certificate issue as well.

                                  This fixes the issue if the cert errors are for the ntop repo: https://www.yinfor.com/2022/02/upgrade-pfsense-from-the-community-edition-to-pfsense-plus.html

                                    I have checked my pfsense install and do not have ntop installed. I am however using IPv6 in a dual stack environment and when I checked my internal DNS server which is used for all DNS queries I noticed that while most DNS queries for A and AAAA records do succceed unfortunately some do not. So if Prefer IPv4 is not selected the upgrade checking process fails, enable it and the Upgrade check works. I have been using dual stack IPv6 for 7 years now, hopefully now this IPv6 issue is highlighted the supporting infrastructure can be updated so Upgrade Check/Upgrade it works correctly

                                      Hi all

                                      I have the same issue on a fresh 2.6.0 install, which was on 22.01 before. I've reinstalled to get the box to zfs.

                                      I've started this thread thread

                                      any suggestions?

                                        This worked yesterday (April 21) however was not able to run the upgrade from 2.6 to plus. today, getting error:

                                        Retrieving Unable to check for updates

                                        Tried all the suggestions above. No joy. Could someone look at the upgrade server endpoints if there was a change blocking?

                                        Thanks!

                                          I had to copy cert files from a running box to the installation with issues and then it worked...
