No route to host/Authentication error when updating

[swansense]

I am having the same issue as many others on 2.4.5 when trying to upgrade to 2.6 or 2.7. After changing NAT to automatic the problem still persists. I was able to update from 2.4.4 to 2.4.5 without any issues only an hour ago so not sure why i am seeing this issue now.

I tired to toggle the update dashboard option and rm -rf /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos && pfSense-upgrade -c -d but problem still persists

I can reach the domain and resolve so not sure what else could be the issue.

[2.4.5-RELEASE][admin@vpfSense.serbio]/root: nc -vz4 pkg00-atx.netgate.com 443
Connection to pkg00-atx.netgate.com 443 port [tcp/https] succeeded!

Also changed NAT to auto from hybrid but no luck.

Sorry about the screenshot but keep getting the error "Post content was flagged as spam by Akismet.com" when trying to post the error as a code.

Any other suggestions?

Try specifying IPv4: pkg-static -d4 update

I had tired that before and it didnt make any difference

I reverted back to a snapshot of version 2.4.4 and updated again to. 2.4.5 and tired again.

seems like an issue with package manager.

i managed to get updated to 2.7 in the end.

I reverted to a 2.4.4 snapshot and then changed the update branch.
