Installing VM Pfsense with same machine I use

[mechanicalmetal]

Hey guys and gals,

Im somewhat a newbie in learning with networking etc. I just wanted to see if anyone can give me a heads up if I can run pfSense on the same machine I use for Windows at the same time running VM. My motherboard for my firewall died. Is this possible?

Thanks so much

Yes, you can. See the pfSense VMware Appliance. There's some more info in the Installing pfSense in VMware under Windows how-to.
