Greetz from Poland!!! You helped me a lot with this video - just started building lab for hacking and stucked in one thing with pfsense. Thank you.

Thanks, just what I needed so I can learn pfSense before taking down my Untangle/NG/Arista.

[singechamberlain]

Fabulous - really clear and to the point.

If we set the Adapter 1 to Bridged Adapter, no WAN IP is assigned to the pfSense VM. The VM cannot ping the host machine either. When trying to ping the host, it responds with ‘No route to host’. Why is it happening so?

[jonjames]

Hi Andrew - thank you very much for this really clear and helpful tutorial. Quick question if I may. I'd like to setup a 2nd interface on the pfSense so I can do some firewall rule testing in a virtual environment e.g. between a trusted and a guest network. Is there any chance you could explain how that's done? Thanks in advance. Alex (UK).

So everything seems fine, and my Kali machine is connected to the pfsense, but my Kali machine itself isn't connected to the internet. Why? I cant' browse, I can't get-apt update, none of that

[MathewPanicker]

How would you go about sharing the lan network with VMs and physical hardware? My system has two physical Ethernet ports

[Ghost_watcher]

Hello and thank you for the video that was useful to me, I had only one question: once pfsense is installed and set to internal network it will protect the other virtual machines automatically connected without having to do other procedures? In my case I connected in my lan pfsense and metasploitable

[dolly]

Thanks! This was very easy to follow and I got it to work

[KendrickVirtuals]

Hello! Thanks for this awesome tutorial it worked for me. Just want to ask will this allow me to access the webConfigurator of PfSense? I tried accessing the IP to my browsers but it won't let me access it only says "the site can't be reached". Not sure what I'm doing I'm still a student by the way. learning things out.

For some reason I do not get the BIOS option when setting up my pfSense, but thanks to you I now have a pfSense running on my virtual machine.

[snixtysnixt]

Hey man I’ve got an issue.. After finishing the installation and click reboot it restarts the installation every time. Feel like ripping my hair out not sure what is going on

[perseverance]

Hi, thank you for video. I have a problem. I downloaded the pfsense iso file. The file appears on the computer, but when I want to add it to the virtual machine, it does not appear among the options? What could be the reason for this?
