      i have been having problems with the package manager, i keep getting the error "Unable to communicate with www.pfsense.com. Please verify DNS and interface configuration, and that pfsense has functional Internet connectivity."
      i have an internet connection working and i have tried with three different connections. i checked my dns settings and even tried the google dns's. when i try to ping i dont get a response from any of my connections.

      anyone else having the same problem?
      thanks!

      edit:
      i have tried to trace to www.pfsense.com from other connections in other states/countries and they all seem to time out after gsr1.bluegrass.net (216.135.95.6). is thier system just down?

        It's up and working fine. That's where the traceroute should time out.

            Check for any kind of proxy or filter between your firewall and our server, including something like snort that could be blocking certain http traffic.
