Description

Are there instructions anywhere for auto-updating a FreeBSD (pfsense) system similar to the Ubuntu ones?

If you installed dnscrypt-proxy using the instructions on the wiki for pfsense then I don't think the Linux update script you linked will be compatible since it expects the service to be installed in a different way.

If you're not comfortable making the necessary changes to that update script and assuming pfsense is similar to vanilla FreeBSD then I'd recommend a simpler alternative: install with pkg install dnscrypt-proxy2 (if you want to re-use your existing configuration, it should be in /etc/dnscrypt-proxy/) and then do updates with pkg update as a cronjob.
