        Why would you want to do that?
        pfSense is basically FreeBSD with a nice gui. (and a bit more)

        So you can do about what you can do under FreeBSD.

        We do what we must, because we can.

          Hi I would like to use youtube_cache - Squid redirector plugin for caching Youtube Videos and I found this in Python ..
          here is the link http://kulbirsaini.fedorapeople.org/stuff/youtube_cache/ http://kulbirsaini.fedorapeople.org/stuff/youtube_cache/

            Yes its possible to install python on pfSense, although, squid caches youtube videos pretty well already when properly configured.  Considering the purpose of a redirector (aka. url rewriter) and how it works, is to simply modify (or not modify) a URL that's then passed onto squid, I question the effectiveness of this utility.

              Thanks Submicron do you know the steps to install Python??  I am working on that ,may be we can add this script and create a new package for Pfsense

                Youtube Cache has come a long way. Now its a squid url rewriter plugin instead of redirector. It supports 10 video portals now. Check http://cachevideos.com/ for details.
