I test this on vmware. I have a 8gb disk, after configuring the first upgrade works, but then the following upgrade does not work (via webconsole or cli). I also had this with the OPNsense-15.7_OpenSSL-cdrom-i386.iso version.

Any idea?

Cheers,
RoRo

Not saying this might be the issue, but how much RAM did you give the VM?
1024MB is safe, 512MB might not be. Sure ain't for installation from the ISO.

And why i386 and not x64?

[roro]

Hi Weust,

the VM has 2048mb ram.
i386 because I have soekris and some old fanless motherboards I want to use.

Greets.

[weust]

Ah, ok. I understand then.
RAM is more then enough for this.

Are you getting any error messages? There should be something if it doesn't work.

[roro]

Well, I just did a cli upgrade and got the following message:
The operation will free 6MiB.
41 MiB to be downloaded.
pkg: http://pkg.opnsense.org/FreeBSD:10:i386/libressl/All/perl5-5.20.2_6.txz: Operation timed out.

and upgrade stops.
However I can download the mentioned file without any problem.

I just tested this, works fine. The file is a bit bigger than the others, but why it stalls might be something in your network, maybe in conjunction with pkg's weird user agent set? something like a firewall or traffic shaper?

You can try to upgrade to 15.7.10 manually (we know for sure 15.7.10 worked fine on the off-chance 15.7.11 has a weird twist):

# opnsense-update -n "15.7.10\/LibreSSL"

If the error is the same, something blocks the file transfer at some point.

Hi, Pfsense is blocking  ;)

This is true for my network. This part of network can only use my own dns-server.
Why is opnsense going to dns in poland?

[franco]

If it's not configured manually it's being pushed via DHCP. We don't hardcode DNS servers?
