      Hi All,
      I have an esxi server, which is connected to Internet, now I want to protect it using Pfsense. The problem I am facing is the ESXI management UI is still exposed, after lot of digging, I found out that NIC passthough can help , hide the ESXI Management UI behind Pfsense. So the challenge I have only one interface that is connected to internet. I havent found detailed steps to achieve this, any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

      Best wishes
      Ahmed

        Hi Ahmed,

        I hope you're well and it has been a while --

        If you're still struggling with only one interface and wish to have multiple VMs, I would recommend reinstalling the setup.

        I believe there is an issue with the installation, I did the same but it worked pretty well from their website.
