Description

I have a pfSense deployment that needs the packages in the package system but is not connected to the internet. I have followed the directions at: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Creating_Your_Own_Package_Repository - Once I set the Base URL it fails to even send a SYN/ACK to the server. I have tried putting the Repo outside and inside the pfsense LAN, both fail to even attempt to connect to the repo.

If no other way is there a way that I can scp a few of the packages over, or manually add the packages?

Thanks,
Rob

Found the problem. The package repo does a lookup for www.pfsense.org and if it fails the package pull completely bails instead of trying to get to the configured repo. Setting a static entry in the DNS forwarder for www.pfsense.org -> 127.0.0.1 solves this issue.
