Hello,
I have a pfsense machine on an ESXi server. My pfsense is not (yet) connected to the internet (it will be when the solution is ready)
I need to install a reverse proxy, so the squid package.
I downloaded the package on a workstation with an internet connection and transferred it to my pfsense via WinSCP.
I wanted to know how to install this package via the command line; I can't find much regarding pfsense management through the command line... which you might say is normal!! I don't know much about FreeBSD, and I feel like the commands in FreeBSD are still a bit different in pfsense...
Otherwise, I'm familiar with the Debian distribution and I don't think it should be too different, so feel free to help!!

So my question is clear: How to manually install a package on pfsense via command line?

Hello,

PFSense allows the installation of packages via its "Package Manager" and squid is part of it. Why make life more complicated?

Hello, how are you? This is the problem I'm currently facing: the package refuses to install despite the updates I've made. If you could help me, please.

Hello Aysher,

Thank you for not posting in a resolved topic in the future and for opening a new discussion.

  • Which Linux distribution are you using?
  • After updating your system, did you try installing squid through your package manager? Assuming you are on Debian or a derivative distribution, what does the following command yield:
sudo apt install squid

Good luck
