use those settings for your gateway IP and dns. Really you don't understand that you need a gateway and dns? Do you really need me to show a picture of what your SETTINGS should be for your static address? Look at one of your clients that is dhcp.

Gateway: none -> as you didn't tell me to set one." Pfsense will become my internet router eventually - just don't feel I know networking well enough yet for this to happen right now.Ĭan you tell me the exact settings I need to change for the above and more importantly why? And you still accessing the webgui from a lan side interface. If you did want to do that - then just make pfsense your actual internet router and have multiple segments where you have lan and vm segment, dmz, wireless - you can have as many segments as you want - then pfsense can firewall between them all while doing nat to the public internet.
#PFSENSE 2.0.3 ISO HOW TO#
Do you need a picture?ģ) Yeah - but they are double natting, unless you turn off nat on pfsense and just turn it into a firewall/router - but now its going to be a bit more difficult for you current router lan to know how to get to the pfsense lan.įor why do you want to do this? Normally the lan is secure, why should you need to isolate your vms from your lan? You are normally on the lan, private/safe side.Ģ) Set a static on it, via interfaces - change from dhcp to static. My understanding of networking is elementary at best, so if your responses are met with some dumb questions, please humour me until I try to comprehend the advice you give me.ġ)Well you need to allow access to the webgui from the WAN, normally that is not a good idea because the wan is normally the internet/hostile network. PFSense LAN) are able to get to the internet.Ĭhances are I have missed a lot of detail. For the LAN interface of the PFSense box, it has the IP address of 192.168.1.1 and gives out 192.168.1.2-255 over DHCP for machines plugged in on that side.Ĭan someone tell me what I need to configure in my PFSense box so that:ġ) I can get to the PFSense web configurator from the 192.168.0.x network, for convenience.Ģ) The PFSense box has a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 on its WAN interface.ģ) All the boxes in the 192.168.1.x network (i.e. One of these interfaces is a WAN interface (the one plugged into router) which I want to have an IP address of 192.168.0.210. I have set up my PFSense box so that it plugs into my router and I want it to have two interfaces (which it has).

My home network has a router which has an IP Address of 192.168.0.1, and gives out address 192.168.0.2-199 over DHCP and 200-255 are for static assignment. I want to use a PFSense installation to act as the edge device in my esx between my main home network and a bunch of VMs. Need some help here, with some simple instructions.
