Cisco loopback interface replacement on pfSense?

lkthomas

should I use virtual IP as a replacement like Cisco loopback interface IP?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

cisco loopback0 for GRE tunnel is useful since it act as logical interface and GRE tunnel source could use loopback0 interface IP. How could I do that on pfsense?

You can add an IP alias VIP on Localhost to get a similar effect

Any reason you can't use the standard 127.0.0.1 & ::1 loopbacks?

logical interface IP is different than localhost IP, you can't use 127.0.0.1 on GRE tunnel setting.
