July 7, 20187 yr Hey, I still haven't made the plunge and bought the license yet so I am posting this here. Don't worry, I will, I have data on this thing now. ? I do have a question though regarding pfSense as a VM on unRaid. I got my passthrough working for my 4 port NIC, it seems to work just fine from what I can tell. My thing is, pfSense has a package for open-vm-tools and I was wondering if this is necessary when using it as an unRaid VM? Google isn't much help here because I guess those who are setting things up this way probably know a lot more about how the whole thing works than I do. I had a pretty advanced pfSense on a bare metal machine before so I am quite versed in how it works so that not the problem, only I have never worked with it in a virtualized environment so there are knowledge gaps there. Thanks in advance for any and all help and help you can provide!
July 8, 20187 yr I'm not saying there may not be benefits or spiffy do-dads and monitoring thingys (that someone else could point out?) but i've never found it necessary.
July 8, 20187 yr Author Ah, no worries. Thanks for the info at least. I will still wait for someone to chime in here but at least I am not worried about some catastrophic failure scenario happening all because I didn't install VMtools.
