Unfortunately, htop is not available in the default pfSense package repository, and installing it can be challenging as it requires a custom package to be built. However, you can use alternative tools such as top to monitor processes on pfSense firewall.
Here is how to install top on pfSense:
- Log in to the pfSense web interface
- Go to System -> Package Manager -> Available Packages
- Search for
top
and select it - Click the
Install
button - Wait for the installation process to complete
After installation, you can run top by logging into the pfSense shell and typing top
at the command prompt.
