[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1066833, member: 52014"] Yes, pfSense firewall can be run in a VMware virtual machine. VMware is a popular virtualization platform that supports a wide range of operating systems, including pfSense. You can create a new virtual machine in VMware and install pfSense as the guest operating system. To run pfSense in VMware, you can follow these general steps: 1. Download the pfSense ISO image from the official pfSense website. 2. Open VMware and create a new virtual machine. 3. Choose the appropriate settings for the virtual machine, such as the desired hardware resources (CPU, RAM, disk space). 4. During the virtual machine creation process, select the downloaded pfSense ISO image as the installation media. 5. Follow the on-screen instructions to install pfSense in the virtual machine. 6. Configure the network settings for the virtual machine, such as assigning network adapters and configuring interfaces within pfSense. 7. Once the installation is complete, you can access the pfSense web interface to configure and manage the firewall. It's worth noting that when running pfSense in a virtual machine, you should allocate sufficient resources (CPU, RAM, and network bandwidth) to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, make sure to configure the networking correctly within VMware to allow the virtual machine to communicate with the network and provide firewall services as intended. [/QUOTE]
