      I was wondering I got pfsense running on a VM and it being home network it sometimes needs rebooting or whatnot I was wondering I have an old TP-link Archer c7 could I turn this in somesoord of live standby thingy ? I realy have no clue where to even begin. any tips suggestions?

      Basicaly I would like somesoord simple solution that when pfsense goes away it takes over and all it needs to do is keep internet running.

        @spacecabbie No you can't use it like that. pfSense does support high-availability configurations but that requires you to run two guest instances of pfSense linked together on different hypervisor hosts. If it's that much of a concern then go pick up an SG-1100 and then you can reboot without losing connectivity.
