We are currently considering installing an instance of pfSense on our Hyper-V R2 based server to act as a content filter, captive portal and general firewall.
Although it is usually bad practice to virtualise a firewall / gateway.. sometimes you gotta work with what you’ve got! ![]()
We’ve got 2 physical NICs.. 1 Facing the internet (WAN) and 1 facing our internal LAN.
How would one go about making sure all internet access goes through the pfSense VM?
Is there a configuration that eliminates any possibility of traffic coming in on the LAN NIC bypassing the pfSense VM?
Sorry if it’s a silly question, I’m a developer by day ![]()
