      @mrpon8 When I run this command "pkg update -f" it returns this message "pkg: Unable to open '/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos//pfSense.conf': No such file or directory
      No active remote repositories configured.
      "

            I had same issue for a long time.

            Then I tried pkg update -f and got an error for SunnyVally repository
            I figured that I had a old version of zenarmor installed that matches the FreeBSD 14 and not 15.
            Upgraded the zenarmor to the latest version.

            Haven't had any of the error messages for some time now. hopefully that was it.

            Maybe this can be helpfull to someone.

              I did a fresh install of 2.8.0 and do not get the error anymore.

                  Same problem here, i'm running 2.8.0 updated from 2.7.2. It also takes much longer to login to dashboard than in previous version.
