How to design network for VM?

cpliu903 · Apr 1, 2015, 1:33 AM

I have only one public IP such as 202.202.202.202
Does create two virtual NIC with bridge mode in vmware ?

Could you give me idea for network design?

@azzido:

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

My purpose can remote access through L2TP/IPSEC and then back out to the Internet.

Or buy a Linksys LRT214 VPN router directly ?

Which is better performance between PFSense and Linksys LRT214 ??

If all you want is a proxy style VPN then pfSense just needs one NIC, the WAN, and a VPN set up to tunnel all client traffic and NAT it out of the WAN interface.

However I would recommend having a LAN interface so you can manage pfSense without allowing WAN traffic to reach the web GUI.
