Can't install updates

Hi, I'm using OPNsense-21.7.1-OpenSSL-dvd-amd64.iso
I'm halfway through setting it up but I'm getting the error  below when I go to the web gui and click on "check for updates"...by the way... my /etc/resolv.conf file has domain <name of domain.> and another 2 lines which are my primary and secondary DNS servers
...can anybody help?

You're on the right track I think, DNS problem.
What do you have set in System > Settings > General > DNS Servers
and is " Do not use the local DNS service as a nameserver for this system " ticked?

Hi,  thanks for getting back to me...anyway......just sussed it...I wrongly set a default gateway for the LAN during initial set up... a default gateway is only necessary for the WAN  interface
