Is it possible?

Trying to install 64-bit on a 32-bit CPU?

hMmmm

I do need a 32 bit pfsense?

I don't know anything about virtual box but it looks like you are trying to install amd64 into a 32-bit VM.  If you CAN install 64-bit, you SHOULD install 64-bit.  But they need to match.

Make a 64-bit VM and install 64-bit.  Or install 32-bit into what you have if that's all you can do.

thank you very much sir!

Oic, I'm installing a 64bit into a 32bit freeBSD that's why… but there's no 64bit of it on my virtualbox, and I saw someone on youtube has 64bit of freeBSD..

found the solution  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

when I disabled dhcp server on my wifi-router then reset the virtual machine, wan becomes blank, is it normal?.. I also enabled the captive portal and when I try to connect using my phone, it's directly connecting to the internet without authentication.. also can't access 192.168.1.1 (pfsense gui) using phone but I can access 192.168.1.2(dd-wrt gui)

when I disabled dhcp server on my wifi-router then reset the virtual machine,

If the pfSense gets his WAN IP over DHCP this could be really going.

wan becomes blank, is it normal?..

Then enter in the WAN field of the pfSense a static IP address please, and this must be one from the
IP range where the DD-WRT router is in.

I also enabled the captive portal and when I try to connect using my phone, it's directly connecting to the internet without authentication..

Is your VM host doing NAT?

also can't access 192.168.1.1 (pfsense gui) using phone but I can access 192.168.1.2(dd-wrt gui)

Is this DD-WRT "device" also a VM guest or a real device?

I should just let dhcp server disabled on my wifi-router or I should not?..
I already enter an static ip address to wan (192.168.1.100)
I set it bridged adapter
dd-wrt is a real device, it's the wifi-router that I'm using right now

please correct me if I made some mistake
thank you.

You can do but the WAN IP from the pfSense msut be a static one, that is outside of the
DHCP pool from the DHCP server from the DD-WRT Router!

I already enter an static ip address to wan (192.168.1.100)

Then the DHCP IP range should be from 192.168.1.1/24 - 192.168.1.99/24 or
192.168.1.101/24 to 192.168.1.254/24 so that the WAN IP from the pfSense is
not inside of the IP range from the DHCP server from the DD-WRT!

I set it bridged adapter

Why? Is the VM also doing NAT?

dd-wrt is a real device, it's the wifi-router that I'm using right now

There comes the Internet in or?

Internet –- ISP --- DD-WRT --- VM host --- VM with pfSense --- LAN
If the DD-WRT is doing NAT and the VM host also and then on top the pfSense will be also doing NAT
you get in trouble here.

If the WAN IP Address of the pfSense is inside the DHCP IP Address range you will be also going into trouble.

my network setting is: internet > wifi-router > laptop where the virtualbox installed > VM with pfsense

If the WAN IP Address of the pfSense is inside the DHCP IP Address range you will be also going into trouble.

should I set the wan of pfsense to 192.168.1.3 or what?

[Amethz]

I really don't know if it's nat or not  :o

[Amethz]

what should I do if the external lan card cannot detect?.. should I install latest version of pfsense?.. I changed my setup onto stand-alone

I don't need to install their drivers?

You're better off just sticking to supported hardware.

@Derelict:

Exactly.
Time to promote plan B to Plan A: make pfSEnse work on its own 'device'.
Afterwards, when you 'manage' EXSI well, try to to 'visualize' the whole thing.

[jahonix]

OP wants to learn/is being taught pfSense, hence the virtual setup. Dedicated HW is probably out of that scope.

thank you sir..
quick question, can I watch cached videos using wifi on pfsense without buffering it or this is applicable only on wired?

[Derelict]

That's more up to your Wi-Fi than pfSense.  pfSense doesn't care if you're wired or wireless.

[Amethz]

could someone teach me how to layout properly my network?

I'm doing this: ISP(internet) > (built-in lan) > old pc(with pfsense) > (external lan) > wifi-router(with dd-wrt) > laptop

I set my built-in lan as wan interface and external lan as lan interface

pfsense has blank lan when I start it up… please help me so that I'll be able to browse its gui and to enable the captive portal
