Hmm, it definitely looks like the host-only adapter is the correct way to have the host communicate with the pfSense VM.
http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_hostonly
I would think that you just need to configure it to not use the VBox DHCP sever. Maybe you have to manually configure it in the same subnet as the OPT1 interface? :-\Steve

The following input errors were detected:
The DHCP Server is active on this interface and it can be used only with a static IP configuration. Please disable the DHCP Server service on this interface first, then change the interface configuration.

What I meant was to configure VBox not to run a DHCP server on the host-only adapter. You need to keep a static IP on the pfSense OPT1 interface. You could use static IPs in the host also since there are only going to be two machines in that subnet.

The vboxnet adapter is still showing a 192.168.56.X address which means that VBox is still running a dhcp server somehow. You could try just setting that as static in PC1 and put it in the same subnet as the OPT1 interface, 192.168.2.3 for example.
You will need another physical interface to connect to PC2.
The OPT1 interface does not need to be physical. It appears as em2 in pfSense because the VBox adapter replicates an Intel Gigabit card.

Ah, so the pfSense VM can ping 192.168.2.3 but the host cannot ping 192.168.2.2?
Did you add a firewall rule to the OPT1 interface in pfSense to allow that traffic?
Your screenshot earlier of rules on OPT1 shows only TCP traffic allowed and not ICMP (ping) or UDP (dns).Steve

Ping traffic is not TCP or UDP it's ICMP so unless you allow that too it will be blocked by the firewall.
Just change the protocol to 'all' for now to test the connection. You can always tighten up the rules later.Steve

Hmm, it looks like it has no route to the host. But you have shown that the routing table looks OK and the connection is presumably good because it responds to ping from other machines. :-

The pings to the host on 192.168.2.3 could be reaching it via some other route, it has many interfaces.Steve

HOWTO: Run pfSense nanobsd in VirtualBox

satimis

In that how-to robi does not use a physical NIC for the host-only adapter. The only difference I can see is that he simply sets the pfSense interface to use the existing 192.168.56.X subnet created by VBox. I can't really see why that would make any difference but you could try that anyway.
