      This install didn't work for me using the doc linked just above. I got several errors regarding the FreeBSD version-

      [24.03-RELEASE][root@heimdall.dahoney.me]/root: pkg add -f https://github.com/crowdsecurity/pfSense-pkg-crowdsec/releases/download/v0.1.3-1.6.2/crowdsec-firewall-bouncer-0.0.28_3.pkg
Fetching crowdsec-firewall-bouncer-0.0.28_3.pkg: 100%    4 MiB   3.8MB/s    00:01    
Installing crowdsec-firewall-bouncer-0.0.28_3...
pkg: wrong architecture: FreeBSD:14:amd64 instead of FreeBSD:15:amd64
Extracting crowdsec-firewall-bouncer-0.0.28_3: 100%

      And then when I try the enroll command I get command not found-

      [24.03-RELEASE][root@heimdall.dahoney.me]/root: sudo cscli console enroll -e context clzeha7*****************uikulpm
sudo: Command not found.
[24.03-RELEASE][root@heimdall.dahoney.me]/root: cscli console enroll -e context clzeha7*****************uikulpm
cscli: Command not found.

      The 4200 is running pfSense+ 24.03 if that matters.

      Update: Installed the SUDO package and now I get this-

      [24.03-RELEASE][root@heimdall.dahoney.me]/root: sudo cscli console enroll -e context clzeha7******************uikulpm
WARN can't load CAPI credentials from '/usr/local/etc/crowdsec/online_api_credentials.yaml' (missing login field) 
FATA the Central API (CAPI) must be configured with 'cscli capi register'

      Box: SG-4200

        What is so great about Crowdsec? Is this the same company that Blackrock investing purchased? Is this also the company responsible for the issue with windows updates? Is this part of Solarwinds and the security issues they had and or Fire eye?

        Long story short what improves within pfSense with this software? Azure use? Cloud platform?

        What’s the background with this company? Is it a subsidiary of another company? Please also explain if Blackrock invested in this business, I tend to avoid anything that Blackrock gets involved in as they have a history of destroying companies and taking patents and other intellectual property rights away from them in the process. I have seen this a number of times with tech companies and Blackrock investments, way to much to say it is a fluke anymore.

        So why use Crowdsec? Why are they not on the main repo?

        Make sure to upvote

          @JonathanLee Youtube Video

          I think this video explains how it works, there is no relation with Crowdstrike.

            I believe you have them mistaken with CrowdStrike.

              The fact that CrowdSec is still not available in the pfSense repository says a lot. It probably suggests that there are some problems with either maintaining its code or its implementation.

                If you click "Assets" on the release page you will find the archive for your version

                Download, untar and then pkg install in the right order.

                    Do I need to uninstall the currently installed version first?

                      Also not sure what the commands are to download, untar and install since I’m pretty sure the links will change for the untarred files.

                        Tracked down the answers for myself.
                        To download-

                        fetch <link to tarball>

                        To untar-

                        tar xvf <name of file>

                        Install commands-

                        # setenv IGNORE_OSVERSION yes
# pkg add -f /root/abseil-20230125.3.pkg
# pkg add -f /root/re2-20240501.pkg
# pkg add -f /root/crowdsec-firewall-bouncer-0.0.28_3.pkg
# pkg add -f /root/crowdsec-1.6.2.pkg
# pkg add -f /root/pfSense-pkg-crowdsec-0.1.3.pkg

                        Install whitelist-

                        sudo cscli parsers install crowdsecurity/whitelists

                        I deleted the originally installed pkg so re-registered-

                        sudo cscli capi register

                        And re-enrolled-

                        sudo cscli console enroll -e context clzeha7k80004l6087uikulpm

                        And then reloaded the pkg-

                        sudo service crowdsec onereload

                        Still no crowdsec package in package manager though. Maybe that will get fixed later???
