pfSense vagrant box file creation VirtualBox with Packer
As packer is not able to download gzipped ISO files directly, you have to download it manually and extract it to e.g.
wget http://mirror.transip.net/pfsense/downloads/pfSense-CE-2.4.2-RELEASE-amd64.iso.gz -O /mnt/tmp/IMAGES/pfSense-CE-2.4.2-RELEASE-amd64.iso.gz && cd /mnt/tmp/IMAGES && gzip -d pfSense-CE-2.4.2-RELEASE-amd64.iso.gz
Then customize the pfsense-network.json file so packer could find the ISO file locally.

To build images, simply run.
git clone https://github.com/pwasiewi/packer-pfSense
cd packer-pfSense
export VAGRANT_CLOUD_TOKEN=the token string taken from Vagrant https://app.vagrantup.com/settings/security
#change 42n4 in a template json to your vagrant account name!!
#It uploads the box version based on version number from template.json e.g. "version": "1.8"
packer build -only=virtualbox-iso pfsense-2.4.2-network.json
