      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
                Netgear R8000 AP (DD-WRT)

                  Could you please also add telegraf?

                  Very useful for monitoring & data gathering.

                  http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:9:x86:64/latest/All/telegraf-1.0.0.r1.txz

                    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.
