      Hi All,
      I have installed squid package in my pfsense vm using the cli.
      Installation was successful though it is not showing in the UI.
      I used the command "pkg install squid-4.9" and the installation was successful.

        Native FreeBSD 11.3 packages don't know nothing about pfSense. So how could they support it ?

        pfSense packages can be based on packages build for FreeBSD 11.3, and have then added to them the GUI part , and more code to use the right places.
        pfSense uses FreeBSD "with modifications".

        @RahulGarg said in CLI installed pfsense packages not showing up in GUI:

        I used the command "pkg install squid-4.9" and the installation was successful.

        then you should continue using the official FreeBSD command interface : the console or SSH access.
        But be ware : you didn't install it on a native FreeBSD 11.3, but on pfSense, based on FreeBSD - there is a difference.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??
