December 18, 201510 yr Atm I have vmware running pfSense and freenas. Freenas isnt designed to run within a VM and is not reliable enough to boot everytime. My end goal is a NAS type system and a good VPN, multi zone capable firewall on the one box. I dont have VT-d available as its on older HP N36L Microserver, this rules out handing over hardware level access to the VM's. Any ideas on the right arrangement of software to do these tasks? -EDITED to remove old software (changed firewall solution)
December 18, 201510 yr Given the age and ability of your hp, id suggest finding and old pc to use as your firewall/router and run unraid on the hp, ipfire is my router/firewall of choice
December 27, 201510 yr Author hmm.. what about running unRaid at hardware level and running a FreeBSD VM for pfSense. Can I specify nic's to the VM? If I can use the one PC with my quad intel nic i'd be happier.
December 27, 201510 yr It can be done but you will need a lot of time tinkering with adding a second network bridge manually and making it all come up automatically when rebooting. I gave up after 2-3 weeks and setup a separate box for pfsense
