      Hallo,
      my Installation:
      Software 2.1.5, nanoBSD, 1GB , ALIX
      WAN: extern (no Internet Access)
      LAN: internal Network (no direct Internet Access)

      Intwernet accessible over Proxy in LAN Segment (on another Box)

      I've set the settings for Proxy Access in %boxip%/system_advanced_misc.php.
      Firmware Update works w/o problems.

      Package List is not available, no package download/install possible.

      I think the routine for package updates don't use the Proxy Settings.

      Anny suggestions?
      :'(

        Are you sure the package server is not down?

        I've been seeing this all morning:

        Nov  7 09:02:34 pfsense php-fpm[63555]: /pkg_mgr.php: XML_RPC_Client: Connection to RPC server                                packages.pfsense.org:443 failed. Operation timed out 103
        Nov  7 09:02:34 pfsense php-fpm[63555]: /pkg_mgr.php: XMLRPC communication error: Operation timed out

        Yet packages.pfsense.org is reachable and responds to pings

          The proxy setting for packages broke when we switched to HTTPS, that's since been fixed in 2.2. It hasn't been down at all.
