pfSense 2.3 is based on pkg for the base system and pfSense packages, so the pkg repository from pfSense is used and the standard FreeBSD package repository is not available. Installing packages from FreeBSD is technically possible, but not recommended due to potential dependency problems . Passing the full URL to a package using pkg add will work, but care is needed to avoid future problems.
