      Hi, I'm new to pfSense, I've tried to install the squid package but seems I can't find the package manager in web gui. I tried under the system menu but I only got:
      "Advanced"
      "Firmware"
      "General Setup"
      "Setup Wizard"
      "Static Routes"

      Any hint on this?

      best regards,
      -eduardo s.m.

          As mentioned in various places, the Embedded install doesn't support packages.  You need to perform a full install.
