      Does create two virtual NIC with bridge mode in vmware ?

          @azzido:

          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.
