        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.

                  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
                  BROCADE ICX6450 48Port L3-Managed Switch w/4x 10GB ports

                    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.
