Fetching changelog information, please wait... fetch: transfer timed out fetch

[alexz707]

Hi!
I have just installed opnsense on an Thinkcentre m720q (i5, 16GB RAM) with a intel quad nic.
Installation was fine and I also installed some plugins:

os-adguardhome-maxit (installed) 1.6_1 32.5MiB mimugmail AdGuardHome
os-dmidecode (installed) 1.1_1 2.83KiB OPNsense Display hardware information on the dashboard
os-dyndns (installed) 1.25 170KiB OPNsense Dynamic DNS Support
os-sensei (installed) 1.10 126MiB SunnyValley Next Generation Firewall Extensions for OPNsense (ZENARMOR / Sensei)
os-sensei-updater (installed) 1.10 4.79KiB SunnyValley OPNsense Sensei Plugin Updater
os-smart (installed) 2.2 22.0KiB OPNsense SMART tools
os-speedtest-community (installed) 0.9_2 36.3KiB mimugmail Speedtest
os-sunnyvalley (installed) 1.2_1 652B OPNsense Vendor repository for Sensei (Next Generation Firewall Extensions)
os-vnstat (installed) 1.2_1 21.5KiB OPNsense vnStat is a console-based network traffic monitor
os-wireguard (installed) 1.7 47.2KiB OPNsense WireGuard VPN service

wireguard & dyndns is not active
adguard is running on port 53 with admin on 999
unbound is running on 53530
the prim dns is 1.1.1.1 (and for the clients the fw ip -> addguard)
Sensei is active but if I switch it to monitoring only the problem is still there

The problem is that Firmware -> Update Tab and Status slowed down.

It always tells me

Fetching change log information, please wait... fetch: transfer timed out

The Update works but takes at least 3 times longer than before.

I have removed every ipv6 references because I have read that this can be an issue.
In the console I tried the fetch cmd and it is working (but slow until the dl occurs!)

I tried switching the mirrors but the problem is still the same.

Maybe some can point me to the right direction ;)

watching this issue as it's something similar to what I'm seeing. Are you seeing the resolution of the DNS take a while before fetch then kicks into gear? How is your DNS setup?

HI!

I've finally solved my problem, I had to tick the box for

    System: Settings: General ->  DNS server options -> Do not use the local DNS service as a nameserver for this system

otherwise the dns requests timed out and that was why the transfer timed out...

With the box ticked, everything works normally.

Hope this helps?

I had a seriously slow connection trying to download the plugins after a clean install.  I had the Wash DC mirror selected, changed it to NY but didn't know if it would switch real time (seemed not as I gave it a few minutes) since the process was underway.  Got tired of waiting, rebooted from the command line and once back it flew.  I chalked it up as the mirror.  Can't say for sure.
