      Hi all,

      I have a good performance server and I am planing to install ESXi and 3 VM on it. I am interested to install also pfSense as OpenVPN server only in as VM.

      In front of server I have a switch which connects 10 users from office (whom use the services offered by VM) and also a Fortinet 60C in front of the switch.

      Users from remote offices will connect to file server in one of the VMs but they need to use VPN.

      Could you please inform if this scenario is supported by pfSense and if I should use only WAN interface in pfSense configuration ?

      Looking forward for your reply.

      Kind regards,

        Yes, that will work with pfSense and also with only one interface.

        Do you plan a remote access server or a site-to-site? A site-to-site would be more comfortable for the remote users.
        In both cases you will have to add a static route for the remote site to the file server pointing to pfSense. If it's an access server for the tunnel subnet, if it's a site-to-site for the remote users LAN.
