    Good Evening,

    I have a DHCP server already configured for my virtual box servers, but pfSense is using its own DHCP server to assign it's IP. I want to change it so that I can make my other VirtualBox VMs connect to pfSense and then have that be routed through the internet.

        I was able to disable it from the shell. Using

        pfSsh.php playback disabledhcpd
        

        My main issue is using my own DHCP server within VirtualBox to now assign an IP to the LAN interface
