      Re: SG-1100 - Unable to check for updates and unable to see/install packages
      Same problem as above.

      I run pkg-static -d update and get:

Unable to update repository pfSense
Error updating repositories!

      I suspect DNS, and I run a pi-hole.

      Any help? What did I do on the pi-hole to break this?

        Make sure you're allowing that as well. If there are still issues, TAC may be able to help given Netgate appliances come with some support. Open a ticket at: https://www.netgate.com/tac-support-request

          As as test set the 1100 itself to use some external DNS server and recheck.
