Installing software not in the packages
-
Specifically, Nginx. Trying to set up a L7 route/reverse proxy is proving to be quite a headache. Having said that, I have two questions.
1. How would you be able to install software on PFsense (unless you upload a tarball or something) from the shell?
2. In case I have another box, how would I set nginx as the reverse proxy used by PFsense?
I really hope PFsense implements L7 capabilities (specifically reverse proxy) natively, because then it would be absolutely awesome[er].
TIA

You can install FreeBSD packages with pkg_add
Example: pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.2-release/All/perl-5.8.9_2.tbzNot sure on the setup with nginx, but I always search howtoforge before anything (http://www.howtoforge.com/sitemap/web-server/nginx)

Nice. Browsing through the list at the moment. Thanks.
Another question if you please, how would I pipe all requests on the wan to the reverse proxy? Would you know?
