danioj Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 do i need vw hardware pass through to to get it to work ? and also whats best way to get wifi ? usb / pci pass-through or i have a wifi pineapple coming i can use ? pfSense works as a VM on unRAID. A simple search of the forum will show you a number of case studies / example of this being done. Rather than just point you to those I would suggest firstly for you to NOT do it** Remember that VM's in unRAID are only available when the Array is started. Therefore IF for "whatever" reason unRAID is down, unresponsive, crashes etc then you would loose your router. ** Unless of course there are ways to mitigate this BUT I don't see what they could be. IF unRAID is not working, powered on or the Array is stopped => VM's are not going to be powered on. Link to comment
evocraigst Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 good point , i might just use old laptop then thanks for you help i didnt see it that way tho Link to comment
MyKroFt Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hence the reason I went with a 1U mini-tix/dual gig ethernet board w/120G SSD - that way when unRAID is down for maint or whatever reason - the rest of the lan still has internet access Myk Link to comment
evocraigst Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 i just brought a 3ghz 4gb ram 1u server for a router now with lan bios interface , but i have a load balancing router to use to restart any system except my main unraid server my second unraid server also has a reset from lan in bios 1u 8 core 32gb ram for vm's Link to comment

I am mitigating the issues of unRAID down OR unavailable by mirroring the pfsense VM on my Backup Server allowing me to switch between the two with an Ultimate Fall Back of the old router sat there pre-configured and ready to go if both Main and Backup Servers are down. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=38877.msg458406#msg458406 Link to comment
