Upgrade pfsense through a remote proxy server

[mrpepik]

I have a pair of pfSense firewalls that I am building out for a secure build environment. These systems do not have direct access to the internet and I have to go through a remote squid proxy.

We have allowed the domain firmware.netgate.com through the squid proxy. I have modified the System->Advance->Misc proxy settings to use the proxy server.

On CLI, running env, I see a HTTP_PROXY setting, but not an HTTPS_PROXY setting.

When I go to the list available packages, I am running tcpdump on the bonded uplink but I see no traffic going to the proxy port of 3128.

I have logged out and back in to both the UI and SSH CLI.

Manually running the pfSense-repo-setup, I just get back failure:

/root: pfSense-repo-setup
pfSense-repoc-static: failed to fetch the repo data
failed to read the repo data.
failed to update the repository settings!!!

Using Nexus from Sonatype, I have tried to setup a Raw proxy repository pointing to the firmware.netgate.com and adding a proxy in the pfSense-repo.conf. This did not work either.

Any recommendations on how to get pfSense to work with the Squid proxy or how to make it use a repo proxy would be great.

Thanks

We were able to finally figure out all of the URLs that the pfSense box was sending requests too and we now have a working squid proxy.

Thank you.
