      Hi

      I would like to run pfSense in virtual box on my Windows 10 Pro PC. My PC has two physical network cards installed.
      To properly protect all of my internal network plus the host that is running pfSense virtualized what would be the proper network card setup in virtual box?

      My best guess is to enable network adapter 1 in virtual box in bridged mode and then choose my first available network card. Next I would enable network adapter 2 in virtual box in bridged mode and then choose my second available network card.

      Would this be the correct setup that would securely protect the host as well as the internal network?

      Thanks!

        @rnormore I do know one adapter needs to be set to bridged mode and the other internal mode from what you just asked.
