    I've been adding packages to our pkg repo as people request them. I added znc today.

      As far as i can tell there is no DNS server package in 2.3 (bind was removed). I suggest adding bind and NSD in pkg repo. I've been running NSD without a problem in 2.3 since launch.

      The problem with making something idiot proof is that the world keeps making better idiots.

        Could you please add xe-guest-utilities to the repo (it also has a couple dependencies, I take it they get added too)? This is the first thing we all go to install when we install in xen/xenserver, would be a big help and would take four steps out of my "installing pfsense in xenserver" guide!

        Will these track the main packages in the main freebsd repo when they are updated/changed?

        Thanks!

          Done. The dependencies are automatically handled by poudriere. When the FreeBSD port is updated, it's automatically synced and a new package pushed. It should be there in an hour or so.

            BIND I'm hesitant to add because if people configure it manually and then the GUI package returns, they'll conflict. Also those who run services like that often want them integrated into the config, and that won't happen with packages added via 'pkg install'. Maybe if it looks like the GUI package won't return (though there are no plans for us to update its GUI, maybe an outside contributor will).

                  First, thank you for your great work. pfSense is really amazing.

                  Packages needed/package request for 2.3.x:

                  Stunnel
                  http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/security/stunnel/
                  http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/release_3/All/stunnel-5.28,1.txz

                  Anyone running pfSense behind the GFW of China can't maintain a VPN connection without stunnel or ssh tunneling. This packages was available in 2.2, but dropped off for 2.3

                  while possible to do: pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/release_3/All/stunnel-5.28,1.txz

                  As explained repeatedly in the forums, this is less than ideal.
                  To get things working I had to use:
                  https://airvpn.info/topic/12800-setting-up-pfsense-22-beta-x64-as-vpn-client-with-stunnel/
                  and
                  https://airvpn.info/topic/17444-how-to-set-up-pfsense-23-for-airvpn/

                  there is still the openssl library mismatch (compiled with p running with s), but it works.

                  thanks!

                      Please could you add:

                      mysql56-server
                      compat9x-amd64
                      php56-mysql

                      This is for installing Ozy's captive portal.

                      Many thanks

                        Hi, this is killing me. :P

                        I need to install python and apache in order to use qlproxy for web filtering. Can those be added as well to repo? Can we help?

                        Actually specifically diladele requests

                        python
                        py27-sqlite3
                        py27-ldap
                        py27-django16
                        apache24
                        ap24-mod_wsgi4
                        openldap-client
                        sudo
                        ca_root_nss

                        –
                        If I change FreeBSD: { enabled: no } to enabled:yes would I know if I was doing something potentially breaking?
                        I have to install the items above.

                          we would like to have puppet4 on our pfSense boxes.

                            can someone please also add Softether (it is on the FreeBSD ports page): pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest/All/

                            I posted a how-to manually add it here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=117626.0

                            Also, the whereis command provides an error when you use it since we do not have any man pages installed by default on pfSense:

                            [2.3.3-DEVELOPMENT][root@pfSense.pf.lan]/root: whereis iftop
                            manpath: not found
                            whereis: error processing manpath results: No such file or directory
                            
                            

                            pfSense i5-4590
                            940/880 mbit Fiber Internet from FiOS

                              Could you please also add telegraf?

                              Very useful for monitoring & data gathering.

                                Please add tcpflow; this is particularly relevant as the version on freebsd.org requires cairo, which is a dealbreaker in embedded context.

                                    There is no option on the port to compile it without cairo. If we added it, it would also use cairo. The FreeBSD port maintainer should add an option to the port to disable cairo ("–enable-cairo=false" when running configure) and then we could set it to build without cairo in our repo. I liked tcpflow before it gained the cairo bloat. I haven't used it in years though.

                                    I don't see us adding anything like that. That sort of service does not belong on a firewall.
