    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.
