          why?  All traffic or just access to the pfsense web gui?  Is your local lan hostile?  Who would be sniffing your local lan traffic?

              I would just create a vpn to the pfsense box from the lan side - openvpn for example.  This would encrypt all your traffic to and from pfsense - now if your route traffic back inside the lan that would not be encrypted, and your internet traffic would not be encrypted unless it would going out another pfsense vpn connection or via https, etc.

                      Yeah why not?  VM is just like any other copy of pfsense running on actual hardware.  But comes down to your connection - is this VM running on the workstation your using on the lan?  If so then really kind of completely pointless to vpn to yourself, etc.

                      Are you setting up the firewall rules to allow your vpn traffic?
