netfox Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Hello, All, is it possible to install in Unraid VM pfSense plus and Boot Environment? John Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Probably. Is it a good idea? Probably not. I currently run pfsense ce in a VM on one of my Unraid boxes. I keep current backups and can quickly migrate to a bare metal install if needed. I would never consider NOT having a bare metal router firewall available on demand. 1 Quote Link to comment
netfox Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 so should I install the CE or the plus version? Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I wasn't aware there was an installer for the plus version. Link? Quote Link to comment
netfox Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 Was looking for it but cant find the link. I guess i should install the ce version and add the Key that you get via email when you register Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Are you passing through a supported network card with multiple ports? Quote Link to comment

slidermike Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) To run "Plus" you use the CE installer and then provide your "Plus" serial #. It then converts it to a "Plus" install. It is offered free (no charge) for home & lab now. You "buy" plus but at a zero $ cost and they send you the serial # by email. https://www.netgate.com/pfsense-plus-software/software-types choose the "Home or Lab" and select "No Charge" to proceed to check out.
