Unless you have 3 independent ethernet cables to the Unraid box it's going to be challenging. I pass 2 ethernet ports directly to the VM, one is WAN and connects to the modem, one is LAN and connects to the switch. The third port belongs to Unraid, and it also connects to the switch.

 

(Actually I have 4 cables, as there is a dedicated IPMI port also connected to the switch)

i have 2 intel x 550 t2 (2 port each) in my server. 

one for pfsense and one for unraid

Can you ping pfsense from the Unraid console?

[Nir Manor]

yes, i can send ping to the pfsense ip addres from unraid console

[JonathanM]

Is the pfsense IP set as the gateway in Unraid?

[Nir Manor]

yes it is, and i try to pus a difrent dns in unarid and it is still not working.

by the wat thank you for the help

Can you ping the DNS IP addresses from the Unraid console?

[Nir Manor]

no, 

ping: connect: Network is unreachable

[JonathanM]

If you set Unraid to dhcp, does it successfully get an address from pfSense?

[Nir Manor]

it dosen seem to work

and it was so hard to get it back runing because in order to change unraid setting i need to shutdown the pfsense vm and when i change to dhcp i coulden access the unraid server page so i connect another router to my netwok in order to acces it

after some work i manged to get unraid on dhcp and ut did pool a ip addres from pfsense
