      Hi,

      I am trying to let dhcp clients pxe boot from the pfsense firewall (10.10.5.1)
      I've installed the tftp package and uploaded the files to the /tftpserver directory.

      But when I try to pxe boot my vm (Virtual box) it never works

      Any advice is appreciated!

        @belrpr hi!

        1. Is VM connecting to pxe (dhcp ok)?
        2. Try to delete "tftp://" and leave just IP

          The vm is ok.
          Gets an ipv4 address in the normal scope.
          Removed the tftp:// but still the same.
