        Is this some kind of joke?
        Windows 7 is an eol OS
        Virtualbox has quite some overhead.
        In general it is a bad idea. at least from the availiability point of view.
        If resources are adequate depends on what else the host os is doing.

        How much do you value 1800 angry voucher holders?

            @ishtiaqaj pfsense doesn't have a gui. It uses a web interface which runs on your favorite desktop os.
            Install it standalone on a barebone pc.
            Or install it on a proper virtualisation server.
