Install pfsense on a server
-
Find an old PC with two LAN ports and have a play on your desk, it will be much easier.

Your server will have some sort of console ports. probably USB/VGA or USB/HDMI or serial console. Or all of those. ;)
If you're using a serial console connection use the USB serial image.
It probably also has some sort of out of band access like IPMI you could use to connect to a console remotely. That has to have been configured though. And you need to know how to access it.

There is no such thing as a human-less data center, if you contract with AWS, there is an Amazon employee who can plug in your USB. Is this one of those hypothetical classroom questions?
But u got a bigger problem, u need physical console/kbd access.

… is there a USB port on a server? ...
Candid camera?
It may or it may not have a USB port. You should know better how it is configured or if in doubt have a look.
All a forum member can do without knowledge of your server's brand and model (you never mentioned that, did you) is to say: maybe. -
…and how can I do my configuration since there is no screen?
Anyone remembers punchcards?
-
If you can install pfSense from punch cards there should be some special award created. ;D
@bisssane Since you say you have physical access to the server there should be no real issue here. It's just a matter of familiarising yourself with the console options on your hardware.

If you can install …
Sorry, then I'm not legit for the price. Was about configuration only.

Ha. I think the award could go to any use of punch cards. Other than, like, stacking under one corner to level your box! ;)

I've got a whole box of punch cards :-[
They were very handy for levelling the billiard table.
