<![CDATA[Connecting to pfSense]]>I have pfSense installed on an Atom controller. As it is now, I have a monitor connected to the controller, as well as a keyboard. Is there anyway I can connect to the pfSense/controller with a Putty or MobaXterm terminal? This would save me from having to switch my terminal and keyboard into the controller.

Search YouTube for "PFSense console accessing using putty".

But really pfsense is admin from its gui via http/https access.

Thanks. I don't know too much about networking. I found a complete description on how to connect here and it works:

<Link removed by Mod> Not knowing much about networking - sure seems you know how to bounce off vpn different servers for your connection. Peddle your links elsewhere!

You might be able to connect via serial if that device has a serial port.
