I don't understand then how the upgrade images should or could be used;
they are yet available for 2.3.1.  ...

There currently is no means of doing so, the system must be online.

The errors from pkg you posted make it seem like the box is behind a
captive portal maybe, so it's fetching a portal page rather than the
pkg files.

[pfSense] How to manually update 2.3 onwards?

[Pete Boyd]

I have a pfSense 2.3.0_1 which has had an issue connecting to
pfsense.com to check for updates for years. That's not the issue, as far
as I believe. Perhaps its LAN and WAN are mistakenly the wrong way
around. It routes between two LANs. Anyway I always update it manually
by downloading a tgz file.

With 2.3.0_1 it appears to offer no means of manually updating, giving
these error messages on the System > Update screen [1].
I see the release notes say "Removed "full update" or "full slice"
upgrade for systems on 2.3 to later versions" - is this what I am seeing?

How do I manually update pfSense now please?
