I don't know where this goes. move if needed.
When I flash this with Etcher, it gives me an error.
Something went wrong. If it is a compressed Image, please check that the archive is not corrupted. Error starting flasher sidecar process.
When I go to extract the img.bz2 file, all it does is hang. Not making it past 20%.
There something wrong with your files, or is it just me? I tried this on Debian as well on Mint. So it's not OS dependent.

Have you tried doing a "bzip2 -d" first?
Yes, I have done that "bzip2 -d" command. Again, it just hangs.

Here is the .img file I saved after I had extracted the original .bz2 file a while ago with
$ bzip2 -dv https://drive.proton.me/urls/MYEC8EHCQ0#BtMc88nHoTpx
And succesfully flashed to my USB Stick afterwards with the following
dd command :
# dd of=/dev/sdb if=OPNsense-26.1.2-vga-amd64.img bs=4MiB status=progressSee if you can do the same :)
The reason I uploaded it for you is that the OPNsense Update Procedure can sometimes be picky/weird when it's done over a Mobile Broadband Connection so I thought maybe you are having similar issues with one of the OPNsense Mirrors and could use an alternative ??
Hope it works better this way...
I have been able to download an earlier version, 25.7, that worked fine for me.
I do not think it is mirror dependent.
But I'll download the img file and see how it goes.
Update: I finally got it flashed. Weird how this happens.
I asked a good friend of mine to download it and try to extract the img.bz2. He couldn't either. Says it was done, but got corrupted.
