23.1 Legacy Series / OPnsense mirrors slow in updates [solved]
« on: April 10, 2023, 08:26:50 am »
Hi,
When I run Opnsense update, it is super slow. Checking for updates takes like 10 minutes for the process to complete and I can't load plugins page at all (list is empty). Packages page sometimes shows the packages, most of the times it is empty. The mirror I am using is https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/opnsense/FreeBSD:13:amd64/23.1 and downloading packages from here with browser everything works fine. Is there a way to change this mirror properly? I have tried changing it from the GUI but it says that an actual firmware update most be performed for it take which sounds pretty stupid firstly because there is no updates atm so I can't install updates so I can't change mirror to actually install plugins. The OPNSense is new installation and only change I have done is that I installed wireguard which I had to do from shell using pkg command as the GUI never shows any of the plugins.
