Would PFSense work in a VM on Unraid?

Featured Replies

I am thinking it would be nice to just use one machine to do what two are doing right now, would pfsense be able to manage Unraids connection as well?

For example if i have dockers that download/use the internet on Unraid server and a VM of pfsense would pfsense be able to do say do QOS on Unraid? or just the other lan connections?

Would i need to have 3 Ethernet ports? have 2 going to a switch so i can still access Unraid before pfsense goes up? and one for WAN? so before Pfsense goes up Unraid would have lan connection but no internet access untill PFsense is up?

or this it be done with 2 ports?

 

is there a guide for doing something like this?

There's plenty of tutorials on the Internet for using pfsense in a vm I'm sure this is possible with unraid.  You need at least two ports.

ok thanks i ordered 2 port nic, just never made a VM manually on Unraid before i hope its not to hard.

if you can do one on vmware workstation or virtual-box, easy peasy. Just remember to download the virt iso.

There are a few posts on this forum about pfsense if you take a look in the KVM forum and search for pfsense it should throw them up.

Thanks guys, hopefully it all works out

pfSense works as a VM on unRAID.  I've had it running as a VM on unRAID (bare metal) for a few months, no issues at all.

 

This post might help, especially the part with adding the 2nd NIC.

I don't think you need it for pfsense only windows machines.

CHBMB is probably right since pfsense is bsd  based.
