How to Create a pfSense lab environment with proper routing using Virtual Network Editor -- Part 1
Today we will be adventuring into the world of pfSense Firewall with pfSense 2.4.4. I created this video to mirror a pfSense routing appliance (SG-3100) and for anyone who wants to see how to properly setup a pfSense router with more than just a WAN and LAN.
I explain how to setup for multiple VM networks to mirror what you would see on a pfSense appliance. I will also show you how to setup a multiple network firewall setup and show how you can test it in a virtual environment that is all connecting to the pfSense router.
We will setup a Virtual NiCs from the Virtual Network Editor and connect them directly to your pfSense VM and that will provide you internet and connections. So, this is a completely closed VM network with your pfSense router at the helm.
This is Part 1 of a multiple part setup. We will Install the pfSense software, setup 3 networks (LAN, LAN2, and DMZ) with 3 different types of private IP address (192.x.x.x / 10.x.x.x / 172.x.x.x) with all different subnets as well so you can get an huge crash course in setups.
I also will provide all the ISOs and VM that is created in a link below for anyone to either follow along or download the final VM I created.
So, if the video is helpful then Like and subscribe to my channel for a lot more videos on VMWare OS installs as well as ESXI installation and best practices on how to maintain and secure your Virtual Environment.
