        You've just to configure the network settings correctly. Ensure the subnet mask is correct, the pfSenses LAN address (192.168.1.8) is the gateway and define DNS servers.
        Then the internet access should work.

        pfSense has a allow any to any rule by default at LAN interface, so any outbound traffic should be permitted.
        For accessing your servers from outside, you have to add NAT rules and firewall rules.

            Your hyperV will connect to the NIC you tell it to connect to. Each virtual machine will pull their own IP address and have their own MAC. You will see each machine in the DHCP leases.
            Your setup is a very basic setup.

            Install PfSense on your box, choose your interfaces (WAN, LAN), set your IP address for the LAN, log into the web gui and set anything else you want to set.

            The best experience you'll get is from diving in and getting dirty.
