Hi there!
This is driving me crazy... my opnsense works great, and DNS seems to be working great for all clients connected, but it isn't updating. It seems opnsense isn't able to resolve hostnames and getting updates. FW rules seem ok; unbound service is up and running and resolved.conf correct. Any hints?
cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain localdomain
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
search localdomain
What errors are you seeing when you try the update? Have you also tried changing the mirror on System: Firmware/Settings page - see if that makes any difference?
Do you get any valid response if you 'ping host' from the OPNsense konsole?
This is what I see:
***GOT REQUEST TO CHECK FOR UPDATES***

Thanks!
This is the full output.

If I try to update manually, I receive a time-out error after a while, so It seems DNS-related.. but I am not 100% sure.

pkg: https://pkg.opnsense.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64/23.7/latest/meta.txz: Unknown resolver error
repository OPNsense has no meta file, using default settings
Problem solved! It was related to the Hardware CRC that was ON. I will dig into the settings and logs to better understand the relation between the DNS lookup and this setting.
Thanks!
