      If you set the view level higher or download that and open it in Wireshark does it show the TCP terminations or permission denied errors?

      I don't see any icmp traffic there.

        @stephenw10 Most of the time it ends with TCP RST.
        I executed pkg-static -d4 update and that was the result.

          That looks OK. What was the result of running the command?

            Look how funny. I changed the DNS Resolution Behavior to "Use remote DNS Servers, ignore local DNS" and I put a totally different DNS server that I never used, 9.9.9.9. Everything is working normally. Let's see if it will be a permanent solution or the problem will come back in a while. I had never been able to reach this update stage, so it's already a step forward.

              The update was a success, but now pfSense is crashing on boot.
              The same thing happened when I made the clean install of 2.7 and restored the backup (it was normal before backup).
              I am making a clean 2.7 install again and config it from zero.

                Where does it crash? Do you have a kernel panic log?

                  @stephenw10 I have, but everything is working normal after I did the install from scratch. If you want me to send you the file, I can look at it. But that problem is solved now.

                    @mrrobot . I managed to solve the problem, but what exactly is going on? I can't say.
                    Change DNS Resolution Behavior to "Use remote DNS Servers" and put 9.9.9.9 as your first DNS server.
