Maybe this is useful for other newbies:
I was testing OPNsense as an additional firewall & router for certain VLANs behind another firewall and proxy.
So OPNsense is installed in the existing private LAN side behind an existing proxy, port 8080.
When trying to update or get the list of plugins,  I always got : No Connection.
I had no luck using the integrated proxy with defining an upstream Proxy, also set_env did not work.

I solved my problem by adding the proxy directly to the pkg.conf via Console - Shell:
vi /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf , add
pkg_env : {
http_proxy: "http://your-poxy-ip:port/"
}

I don' t know, if this is the best way to go,  at least it worked for me ;-)
