Pritunl is a popular open-source VPN server that provides secure and reliable VPN connections. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Pritunl on FreeBSD latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
To install Pritunl on FreeBSD, you need to add its repository first. Execute the following command to import the Pritunl GPG key:
# fetch https://repo.pritunl.com/conf/pritunl.repo
# mv pritunl.repo /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/
Now that we have added the Pritunl repository, let's update the FreeBSD packages using the following command:

This command will install the Pritunl package along with its dependencies.
After installing Pritunl, let's start the Pritunl service using the following command:
