        Have you tried all the previous fixes

        1. Ensuring System / Advanced / Networking Prefer to use IPv4 even if IPv6 is available - enabled.

        2. The cert errors are for the ntopng repo: https://www.yinfor.com/2022/02/upgrade-pfsense-from-the-community-edition-to-pfsense-plus.html
          summary

            service ntopng stop
          
            pkg  remove ntop ntopng
          
             rm -rf /var/db/ntopng
          
        3. Perform the upgrade via the console

          Hi,

          already tried steps from the troubleshooting guide, without success...
          Prefer IPv4 has been set.

          [2.6.0-RELEASE][admin@fw01.garage.local]/root: service ntopng stop
          ntopng does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup
          directories (/usr/local/etc/rc.d), or is not executable
          [2.6.0-RELEASE][admin@fw01.garage.local]/root: pkg remove ntop ntopng
          No packages matched for pattern 'ntop'
          
          No packages matched for pattern 'ntopng'
          
          Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
          2 packages requested for removal: 0 locked, 2 missing

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

            /etc/ssl
            -rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel   7544 Feb 15 16:54 pfSense-repo-custom.cert
            -rw-------   1 root  wheel   3242 Feb 15 16:54 pfSense-repo-custom.key
