      There isn't currently a way to do that.

        …yet.

        Just committed an option for that.

        https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense/commit/7a058f067eb1b7216eace85aa12d2eaaacf443d2

        That patch doesn't apply cleanly to 2.0.x but it's a fairly simple set of changes that could be made by hand. (Or you could just look at the code that the new option disables, and remove it)

          Thanks jimp!

          Saves us the trouble of having to manually search and alter code and then repeat it when version changes!

              Now I won't be tempted to upgrade to new snap every couple of days because of seeing that update is available taunting me ;)

              Thanks!

                For the record it is placed at
                System -> Firmware -> Upgrade Settings tab.

                  The link for the upstream github commit is:
                  https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/7a058f067eb1b7216eace85aa12d2eaaacf443d2

                  In the case of v2.0.3 if no change to the code is done, Update Check URL box is checked and the URL fields is left blank.
