Unable to check for updates (SOLVED)

Yeah, that could easily block outbound requests. Setting direction In would prevent that.
But you probably want to use something that redirects anyway:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/dns-redirect.html -
I have that for my IoT subnet. That is the better method to transparently redirect traffic.
I think what happened was I found that list first, then learned how to do that traffic redirection, but neglected to scrap the list & associated rules.
I am perplexed as to why they put private IP addresses, including the reserved loopback on the list.
I just emailed the maintainers of the list to ask them why.

Unable to check for updates.
I can not see any packages and the notice on my dashboard says "unable to check for updates"
I have tried changing the contents of /usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo.conf and soon realized this seemed like the wrong processor for my 2100. Put the file back to original.

Hello,
I have the same problem now on my Netgate 2100.
I updated the repo config already from "repo" to "firmware", but after I did that, I see cert issues related the new domain.
For some reason the content of my post is flagged as spam and I can post those. The full post can be found on https://pastebin.com/T6yRB4Yw
Any ideas?
Thanks...

This seems to be what is stopping me from upgrading a 2100 at one of my remote sites, as it has yet to be reimaged to upgrade to ZFS. I guess I will be having someone onsite walk through the reinstall process, thanks for linking that post here.

@stephenw10 said in Unable to check for updates (SOLVED):

Yes I did but was just a newer version as the Netgate Package of ntopng is or was quite far behind.
Now I understand the ramifications of installing outside of Official Packages.

@kb8doa Thank you sir, that did solved my issue as well!

I had the exact this problem when I decide to update my pfsense+ from version 23.01 to 23.05. On my appliance I had installed APCUPSD package and this for the reason for error on "Dashboard" page. On the "System Update" page I still receive error.
-
So you were able to upgrade by removing apcupsd?
