PfSense ISO image- Click here to download.After the deployment of PfSense, we would connect those clients to PfSense_LAN_SW and test the connectivity.We will also create another virtual switch called PfSense_LAN without any uplink which will be shared by the VM’s and the PfSense LAN interface.We will configure another virtual switch called WAN with an uplink connected to the internet and a second link connected to the PfSense WAN interface.In Esxi host, I have a single standard switch vSwitch0 at the moment that carries the ESXi management traffic.We will be using a single ESXi host in this lab connected to a physical switch connected to the internet. Even the big solid commercial firewall works well on the physical box, acts weird when it comes to virtualization.īelow is the topology that we are going to use. Even though PfSense is a good product, it is not entirely bug-free. It sounds weird but that worked at that time. After the reboot, the issue got fixed by itself. After doing so much research and troubleshooting we were about to give up, we decided to reboot the PfSense firewall. we couldn’t really find any issues with the configuration, and neither any changes that were performed on the firewall at that point. In one of the POC labs, we have used the PfSense firewall in the ESXi host, and we didn’t find any issues at any point except once we had a problem with VM’s were unable to connect to the internet. Finish the PfSense initial setup wizard.Connect the virtual machine to the PfSense LAN side.
