You still don't know if it's trying to connect via IPv4 or IPv6 and disabling non-working IPv6 or preferring IPv4 via setting have always been good options.


Cheers,

True, I failed to mention that I disabled dhcp6 on my wan interface and even clicked to disable ipv6 to try to narrow things down.  My thoughts on that was when I set this instance up, I had it on my lan (ipv4 only) behind an older opnsense (21) instance and it updated just fine.  It stopped updating once I replaced the 21 instance with this one.  And the obvious difference was the ipv6 interface.  So that's where I began troubleshooting the update errors.

In troubleshooting mbuf errors that were showing up in dmesg, I disabled the following.
* hardware checksum offload
* hardware TCP segmentation offload
* hardware large receive offload

Once disabling those I didn't get any further messages appearing in dmesg or on the console.  Plus an added bonus that updates work again... :). Kinda weird that would be enough to do it.

After all of thie I've re-enabled ipv6, and I don't get errors when trying to update.

Looks like running pkg update in debug mode helps it to not fail as often...

I'm having a similar issue.  I'm running OPNsense 25.7.3_7-amd64 and running on an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7500 CPU @ 3.40GHz.  DNS appears to work fine as it resolves pkg.opnsense.org just fine, and I've also forced my MTU to 1500 even though it had auto-selected that before I forced it.
