Pfsense virtual machine.

common · Sep 4, 2010, 6:05 AM

Current system is:

cable bb -> wireless outer -> 2xEth and 3xWireless

I want to try out pfsense, ntop etc. and I was wondering it should be possible to make a virtual machine on a pc running pfsense and make that the gateway for all internet access on the lan/wan.

Is this possible?

yes you can have pf in a vm

And indeed, there is an entire sub-forum on using virtual platforms. I'd recommend you read the threads there.

I believe that pf should not be run in a vm for the same reasons as there will not be FreePFNAS. But thats just my opinion.
