Please point out I am an idiot....

Fairly new to pfSense but not to networking.

I for the life-of-me I cannot find packages to install. It shows what packages are installed, but there is no way to see what is available.

Picture of Firmware-Packages

Reading other instructions on workaround, if I go into the shell there are no executables called: pkg, pfSense-upgrade (or pfSense anything)

I can check for upgrade under Status. It returns

***GOT REQUEST TO CHECK FOR UPDATES***

Thank you!!

@OniNiKanabo Easy - you are running OPNsense and are posting for answers on the pfSense forum. OPNsense and pfSense is NOT the same product :-)

You called it - your on the wrong forum for starters.. Do you not know the difference between pf and opn??

You guys nailed it! lol

I was on the fence forever on which one to install... Last minute I decided to install OPN.. I guess my brain never made the switch.

Configuring everything was super intuitive so this was the first time I had to look for help.. hahaha

Lol.... I am truly an idiot.

Thanks all! :)
