Please bear with me if I am not saying this well.
Yesterday I noticed an update that updated the updater on my opnsense DEC850v1 device. I think it changed the mirror from which I get my updates. It now says https://pkg.opnsense.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/26.1 is my mirror.
Was this legit?
Thanks.

How to you check the mirror it uses, in the web GUI, System: Firmeware > Status? It shows the same URL for me for the mirror '(default)', that is fine for sure.
No update should ever change the mirror.
That's the default. Yes there was a small update to opnsense-update, but it doesn't change your mirror.
The core update might at first since it resets the defaults, but the post-update hook should populate the correct mirror.
That's equivalent to running the following command:
# pluginctl firmware_reload
And rechecking your repo config:
# opnsense-update -O

my business appliance has a small Business edition update as well. I wondered what it was about
