      So, I have seen multiple instances where an issue like this arises and I have followed all of the troubleshooting issues provided. Unfortunately, none of these have fixed my issue thus far. I have been unable to download new packages, uninstall packages, nor have I been able to update my PFSense instance. When running pkg-static update, I receive a wall of text claiming that repositories couldn't be updated and all my requests to fetch the updates are labeled "Bad Request." I can ping the PFSense repository "pfsense-plus-pkg01.atx.netgate.com" and can run a proper DNS lookup against it. I ran the command to rebuild my certificate hashes as well just as a precaution, but that does not appear to solve my issue. Does anyone have any ideas on where I could start? I have PFSense+ 23.05.1, if that makes a difference.

        @petrij98 Did you set your update branch to Previous Stable?

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

              Bad Request implies pfSense is sending an invalid client cert.

              Try running: pfSense repoc

              If that returns an error send me your NDI in chat and I'll check it.

                @stephenw10 That indeed returns an invalid signature error. I'll DM you my NDI.
