      My goal is to to setup one VM with pfSense and one VM with Windows (7 or 10) and have Windows go through pfSense to get online.

      I've installed both OSes. I can access the web UI from the pfSense VM itself (with curl) and from the Windows VM, but I can't access it from the host.

      I know it's the firewall the blocks access rule because if I do a pfctl -F all in the pfSense VM, the host can access the web UI.

      One more piece of info: I can ping pfsense.org from inside the pfSense VM.

      Is there a way to access the web UI from the host? If yes, then how?
