      I am new to pfsense and wanted to try this out (I don't need the full setup with multiple NICs right now). I searched the forum for vmplayer information but found only a few links that do not confirm if the current version at http://www.vmsources.com/resources/cat_view/63-virtual-appliances or can be put on vmplayer. I didn't find the ova version from the on https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/VMware_Appliance.

      Can anyone please advise on a step by step way to use pfsense on vmware?
      Thanks

        Download the iso from one of the mirrors of pfsense official site for example this one http://pfsense.foofus.com:81/downloads/pfSense-LiveCD-2.1-RELEASE-i386.iso.gz

        Create a new virtual machine and give it the extracted iso as the installer disc , customize hardware and add 2 NICs

        the installation is dead-simple , take a look at youtube http://goo.gl/EWKMQK
