      For the last few weeks I have been seeing this message when I try to install new packages

      Unable to retrieve package info from https://packages.pfsense.org. Cached data will be used. 
      

      At first, I thought the website was down.  Then after about 2 weeks I decided to browse this forum to see what was going on..  Found this thread but user cmb recommended users NOT using proxy to start their own thread

      I have NO packages installed.  This is a clean running install of pfsense running on a Proxmox VM.

      Its been running perfectly for about 2 months.  For some reasons, pfsense lost its way.  I suspect this started since last upgrade… Not sure though since I dont access pfsense webUI every day..

      Looking up https://packages.pfsense.org using DNS Lookup  doesnt work (The following input errors were detected: Host must be a valid hostname or IP address.).

      Trying to access "https://packages.pfsense.org" from my browser also doesnt work.

      Anybody can shed light to this?

        Are you using IPv6?
