Unable to update repository FreeBSD

[morxy49]

I'm trying to install a VPN client in a jail, but get the following error. What can i do to fix it?

Code:

root@ovpn:/ # pkg update && pkg upgrade && pkg install bash openvpn unzip curl
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
Repository FreeBSD has a wrong packagesite, need to re-create database
[ovpn] Fetching meta.txz: 100%    944 B   0.9kB/s    00:01
[ovpn] Fetching packagesite.txz: 100%    3 MiB  85.8kB/s    00:33
pkg: http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest/packagesite.txz: Operation timed out
Unable to update repository FreeBSD

I've tried to ping http://pkg.FreeBSD.org but it doesn't work.

Code:

root@ovpn:/ # ping http://pkg.FreeBSD.org
ping: cannot resolve http://pkg.FreeBSD.org: Unknown host

I can ping Google, though.

try again? maybe just an outage.

Check "http://pkg.FreeBSD.org" on your computer browser (shows fine for me) first. If it works there and not in FreeNAS you may have a DNS / Gateway issue.

Yes, it works from my computer browser, so it seems to be DNS/Gateway issue. How can i troubleshoot this?

What do you have under [Network] - [Global Configuration] for:

• IPv4 Default Gateway
• Nameserver 1

• My router (192.168.1.0)
• Google DNS (8.8.8.8)

• My router (192.168.1.0)
• Google DNS (8.8.8.8)

Might want to check that router address.

Most people run a 255.255.255.0 or /24 subnet which puts 192.168.1.0 outside that scope.

Well, i did write the wrong address, it's supposed to be 192.168.1.1, but that is correct. I agree that it seems weird, but that is the address that takes me to the router's web interface, so it should be correct.

Does anyone have any clues on this? I still haven't gotten it to work :(

Inside the jail, you still need a nameserver...check your /etc/resolv.conf in the jail

Try disabling VIMAGE for the jail. It does bad things for the networking on one (but only one) of mine.

Post screen shots of your networking config

Holy shit it seems to be working!
I'll update soon.

Yep, it worked! Thanks!
Now i just need to configure everything. Let's see how that goes.

Hmm I would really like to know the real reason vimage causes people problems. Something in the network doesn't like it but I have no clue what that thing is. Vimage works perfectly fine for my 5 jails.
