        You're better off just sticking to supported hardware.

          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.

          Edit : and where are the logs ??

            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?

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

                  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

                    Strange question.
                    "Videos"that only work when the connection si wired ?
                    So when there is Wifi (radio) or Optical (fibre) in the path, there are problems ?
                    Never heard about that one.

                    Better stick to 'normal' devices and setup  ;D

                        it is possible that I'll be the one who will assign voucher codes for pfsense?

                            I'm the one who will generate the voucher codes not the pfsense

                              Not that I know of.  There's crypto involved that has to match up.  Why not let pfSense do it?  You can generate hundreds if not thousands at a time.  Take them, put them in a database, print cards, whatever, and hand them out by whatever means works for you.

                                Our adviser suggested that, so I asked if it's possible… thanks anyway :)

                                  I'm planning to install the squid 3, is there any conflict between that and captive portal?.. what other package/s I should install to make my pfsense more useful? TIA

                                    "Squid 3": don't know.
                                    "squid" was (is ?) breaking the portal - see the many (even more) subjects on this forum.

                                      another question, I set the dhcp range on lan to 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.10
                                      why is that some IPs connected to my lan is 192.168.1.100 and up?

                                        Another DHCP server (on LAN) ?
                                        Static IP setting used by clients ?

                                        You saw the pfSense DHCP server logs ?

                                          could I specify what's the error on voucher code?..

                                          1st: this voucher is being used by other device
                                          2nd: invalid voucher code (when they enter a wrong code)
                                          3rd: expired voucher (when there's no remaining time left)

                                            1st: this voucher is being used by other device

                                            See GUI -> Captive portal -> Vouchers
                                            " If the voucher is used again from another computer, the previous session is stopped. "
                                            If some one passes his voucher code to some one else, he will loose the usage of it.
                                            So, don't worry, no one will 'loose' his voucher code.
