      I already create a topic about this problem, but I guess it could be a general question too.

      In resume, I can't install packages 'cause the files.pfsense.org domain is "blocked" in my network. I can not access it trough the FW, LAN, browser or even make a telnet connection in port 80.

      In my network there's no other web filtering service ou something like that…

      This pfSense box is connected to the internet in PPPoE. And it's also installed in a Xen Citrix server.

      Does someone knows what I could do?

        Are you sure it is blocked ? This could be a DNS issue.

            @S(y)nack:

            For sure, I can resolve the name. In both LAN/pfSense box.

            **lan-machine~ # nslookup files.pfsense.org
            Server: 10.1.1.254
            Address: 10.1.1.254#53

            Non-authoritative answer:
            Name: files.pfsense.org
            Address: 66.111.2.167**

            @asterix:

            No, I can't even install packages :(

              I would then do a traceroute, where does it die?  if it does?

                Well, aparently it dies on the ISP, GVT.

                Is there any chance of my ISP blocking the files.pfsense.org?

                  PS: I have other pfSense box in the same ISP, and it can do the traceroute, access the website, download packages. It's working fine.

                    That's indeed dying on your ISP's network. I doubt they're intentionally blocking anything, but clearly have some kind of issue that's preventing you from getting to at least part of NYI.net. You'll have to report it to them.
