      Hi!
      Is there any limit for number of interfaces I can add to pfsense? And in a virtual machine like vmware?

      Thanks!!!

        @unaibg According to VMware, ESXi can support 10 interfaces per VM. If you require more than 10 interfaces, use VLANs instead if possible.

          I don't know of any hard limit. I've seen machines with hundreds of VLAN interfaces.

          It does become impractical to use some GUI pages at hundreds of interfaces though.
