      Found in the newsgroups instructions on installing Pound in PFsense.  It says to start by entering the following:

      $ pkg_add -r pound

      I Get the error:

      Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.1-release/Latest/pound.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)

      Any Help would be appreciated

      Thanks

        looks like the link didn't copy/paste right, it shouldn't have http :// in front of it for an FTP link. But it can be accessed via HTTP, just needs a slightly different URL.

        Plus FreeBSD moved the packages off to its ftp archive…

        So try:

        pkg_add -r http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/amd64/packages-8.1-release/Latest/pound.tbz
