What is the setup you're hoping to achieve with this in the end?
Hi,
My goal is to run pfSense as router (virtual) without the physical router. I don't expect touching the Host, keeping it clean. I have only 2 PCs, each with VirtualBox installed having 10 VMs running on each of them. The network will be as follow:-
ISP -> Cable Modem -> eth0 of PC-1
eth1 of PC-1 -> eth0 of PC-2 (only one physical NIC on PC-2)
All VMs on both PC use the Virtual router for routing
The two NICs you listed above are they both real physical NICs? I'll assume they are.
Yes. 2 physical NICs.
Open the VM and open a browser, go to the webgui at 192.168.1.1 and configure pfSense. Setup the PPPoE connection.
I couldn't browse the webgui of pfSense on Host browser nor on another VM browser.. This is very strange to me. I have installed another pfSense by importing pfSense.ova download. Please see my new posting re "Unable to browse pfSense". pfSense.ova was download on;
http://files.nyi.pfsense.org/mirror/downloads/old/Now I have another image "pfSense-2.0.3-RELEASE-4g-amd64-nanobsd.img.gz" download. I'll install another pfSense to check what will happen..

This is probably now a Virtual Box config problem. I'm no VB expert but please post some network config for your VMs. I'm not sure how that will work since a quick google seems to show that VirtualBox doesn't have a convenient network map.

What are VM1 and VM2?
Th host configuration is not important either. We need to see how VirtualBox's internal virtual network is configured. For example see the attached screenshot that I've shamelessly borrowed from Jonpoz. That's how ESXi shows it's network config.Steve

Hmm, Ok some reading later. It appears, and correct me if I'm wrong here, that there is no real concept of a switch in Virtual Box at least not by default. You can add various things like openvswitch to do it but it's not standard. There's also no easy way to view the whole network config as there is in ESXi so we have to go through it step by step. There are at least two internal networks that can be used to separate VMs and we can use for pfSense. There are also a ton of tutorials out there like this one: http://pc-addicts.com/how-to-install-pfsense-in-virtualbox/
Edit: Just watch that linked video. In fact you have as many independent internal networks as you want, the switches are implied.
So the pfSense VM should have two network adapters enabled. The first should be a bridge adapter, that will be the pfSense WAN. The second should be an internal adapter, that will be the pfSense LAN.
The VM you are suing to configure pfSense should have one network adapter and it should be the internal type.
The internal adapters of both VMs MUST have the same name otherwise they will be isolated.I'm unsure about adding an adapter to allow the host to access the internet through pfSense though. :-\

Thanks for your link.
I have no problem to install pfSense but unable making it to work. I have tried importing .ova and .vdi download on Internet. pfSense can start without probem. But I couldn't browse it on VM and Host.
em0 -> (not pointing to device/IP address)
(see image attached)It can't connect ISP even after filling in the MAC address.
I watched following video;
Setup Virtual Lab | Networking and Virtualbox
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W9QTm-l1ckThe physical setup is behind a physical router
ISP (pppoe/ethernet) -> Router -> PCWhat I expect to achieve is without a physical route. If it is a MUST behind a physical router that is NOT what I expect to do.

Hi stephenw10,
Further to my late posting I found following article:
Virtualize your router using pfSense and Virtualbox
http://www.area536.com/projects/virtualize-your-router-using-pfsense-and-virtualbox/It seems to me possible to replace the physical router with pfSense as virtual router.
I made another round download pfSense-2.0.3-RELEASE-amd64.ova and import it to VirtualBox. Thereafter started it without problem. Both em0 and em1 are connected.

or

You will have to browse to the pfSense webgui from the internal VM and make sure they both connected to the same internal network name.
What OS are you using for the other VM? Does it receive an IP from the pfSense DHCP server?Steve

Aha! :)
The default login is admin:pfsense
The IP address in the Ubuntu VM, 192.168.1.100 is in the pfSense LAN default subnet. Is is not receiving that from the pfSense VM? Or did you set it manually? It looks like your physical router is using 192.168.0.X for its lan side subnet.
Why do you have two NICs in the Ubuntu VM?There are many tutorials for setting up pfSense. Check Youtube, the docs wiki here, many places. :) When you first login there is a wizard to guide through the initial setup anyway.
Set the WAN to DHCP. It should then receive an IP from your physical router and you will be able to ping things from the pfSense console. Then when you know that the pfSense VM has connectivity to the router try removing the router and reconfiguring the pfSense WAN for PPPoE.

Why eth1 NOT eth0?
There are many tutorials for setting up pfSense. Check Youtube, the docs wiki here, many places.
Yes, Google found me many including the official tutorial of pfSense. I just wonder which of them is suitable to me.
Set the WAN to DHCP. It should then receive an IP from your physical router and you will be able to ping things from the pfSense console. Then when you know that the pfSense VM has connectivity to the router try removing the router and reconfiguring the pfSense WAN for PPPoE.
Thanks. I'll check it later to see whether;
ISP -> Cable Modem -> PC-1this connect will work. Interface here is PPPoE. It worked before installing/running pfSense.

Why eth1 NOT eth0?
Well I'm guessing since I can't see your VM config but I'd say eth0, adapter1, was set as a bridge so it connects directly to the physical router whereas eth1, adapter2, is set as type internal so it connects to the pfSense LAN.
Thanks. I'll check it later to see whether;
ISP -> Cable Modem -> PC-1 this connect will work. Interface here is PPPoE. It worked before installing/running pfSense.This should work OK since you know the pfSense WAN has connectivity to the physical NIC. However be aware that when you apply those new settings you will loose connectivity at the host(PC1) and probably at PC2. The PPPoE connection will now be terminated in the pfSense VM so the only internet connectivity will be via pfSense. You will have to add a 'host only' adapter in order for the host PC to use the connection.
What address is the PC2 machine receiving?
Do you want the VMs on PC2 to be in the same network at the VMs on PC1?

Yes you could create another interface in pfSense to connect the PC2 host. That will then have a different subnet and could have a different set of firewall rules. You can filter any traffic between PC1 VMs and PC2 VMs.

Ok, I think we have a bit of a miscommunication problem here. A diagram would probably go a long way to help that. I'll try to draw something up this afternoon.
I can well believe that the pfSense VM has a problem if you are using PPPoE directly from its host PC. Why are you doing PPPoE from PC1? The PPPoE session should be in the pfSense WAN interface.
What happens when you try to start pfSense?
You should forget PC2 until you have pfSense running correctly with PC1 and the VMs hosted by PC1. Then add PC2.
If you have any adapters set to type 'NAT' in VBox then you will be bypassing pfSense. All the NAT should be done by pfSense.
pfSense is being run inside a VM like any of the other OSes, they are all just VMs to Vbox.

I'll use another ISP on the coming early April. The new ISP shall not provide router but an ONT for connecting my PC. The new service will be FTTH Fibre Optic Service, 100MB/100MB.. Therefore I have to provide a router for collecting 2 PCs. PC1 is my daily working PC with 10 VMs running. PC2 is a spare PC also with 10 VMs running. The latter is NOT running round the clock. If I succeed installing/running pfSense as router on PC1 then I don't need purchasing a router. I just plug a Cat5e cable to NIC2 of PC1 and to NIC of PC2 when I use the latter.
What happens when you try to start pfSense?
Nothing special found. I can't use it as router to routing Internet connection to VM of PC1. I haven't tested the VM on PC2. What I noticed was I can start the login page of pfSense on browser of PC2 but unable to login.
You should forget PC2 until you have pfSense running correctly with PC1 and the VMs hosted by PC1. Then add PC2.
OK
