      Where can I download pfSense Community Edition?

      I do not see "pfSense-CE-memstick-serial-2.7.2-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz", or "pfSense-CE-memstick-2.7.2-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz" links or files to download.

      When I go to https://www.pfsense.org/download/ I can only download the Netgate or non CE. When I try to install from the non CE image, I do not see the same options like disk encryption.

      Thank you

              It is if your device is not eligible for Plus. In the next installer version that is select-able.

              In the mean time I can manually remove Plus eligibility if that's what you need.

                @stephenw10 Well, i search for pfSense CE, it takes me to Netgate website, i choose in Cart, then Login, and i download, i extract, i thought i could choose between CE or Plus. In VirtualBox says no, you can't install Plus. I don't want Plus, only CE. I read about how and where to download. Or maybe i do some mistake?

                  It says 'Failed eligibility check`?

                  That's a VBox specific error that should be fixed in the next version. However when I have tested it simply restarting the installer always allows me to pass it.

                      Well if you want to try it a new Installer version was made available yesterday, Beta7. That is what I tested with that succeeded on the second attempt.

                          The file inside the gzip will show beta2 or beta7.

                                Mmm, we just narrowed down the specific issue with VBox to system clock problem. It works after rebooting (without powering off) because NTP corrects it the first time.

                                Should be fixed for the next version.

                                  @stephenw10 Yes, with rebooting works, but you must enable CE repos in Advanced Setting if you want to install CE. I instaled, Beta installer 7, first nothing, after reboot, no shut down, reboot, enabled CE repos and it worked.

                                  THX

                                    @stephenw10 I just tried on a mini PC HUNSN, installer works very messy, at boot as i get it to work after 2 Hours with pfsense CE iso, it does not show pfsense, but FreeBSD.
                                    I didn't get to install from netgate Beta 7 installer. error coud not get something like time, pkg ..

                                    I checked Mini PC with Windows , Linux, works perfect.

                                      You have any logs or screenshots of the specific errors?

                                          @mak73 i gave up for now, i tried 4 hours, always the same, and at the end of my old iso 2.7.2 showed also some write error. I'll wait, maybe in near future will be ok.

                                            Hmm, well if you can replicate it and get the actual errors we can look at it. It should show why it's failing there.
