# echo "nameserver 192.168.1.1" > /etc/nfĪs a last step we are going to disable iptables to avoid undesirable traffic filtering.Įvery time a Pfsense appliance is started we must issue type these commands. Now we can replace our DNS configuration with Pfsense DNS server. The next step consists of IP address configuration for the interface tap0 and configuration of a default route that routes all traffic to LAN interface - em1 of Pfsense appliance. In order to create a virtual interface a package tunctl must be installed. Network interface em1 represents the LAN interface of the pfSense firewall. Now we need a virtual tap interface that will be bridged to the second network adapter em1 of the Pfsense virtual machine. A root account is required to do the changes. Bridging host adapter wlp3s0 with the guest adapter em0 (WAN interface of Pfsense) will be done using vboxmanage utility and shown later in the tutorial.Īs the Pfsense appliance is responsible for connecting to WAN network, we should remove an IP address from the interface wlp3s0 and delete a default route pointing traffic to networks via this interface. This interface will be bridged with a first network adapter (em0) of the Pfsense virtual machine. The interface wlp3s0 is the interface that connects Pfsense virtual machine to the outside world. is shown below.Ī wireless network card is installed in Linux and presented as an interface wlp3s0. A network topology consists of Linux Fedora with installed VirtualBox virtualizer. To do so we must reconfigure an existing network interface, create a new one and configure new static default routes.
#Pfsense ntopng disk space install
We are going to install pfSsense from live CD ISO image on a VirtualBox virtual machine. PfSense Live CD ISO disk can be downloaded from here. It also describes pfSense installation and shows minimal web configuration needed for successful connection to the Internet. It shows Linux network configuration to support this scenario and provides an installation script that automatically builds a VirtualBox virtual machine ready for pfSense installation.

The tutorial explains how to set up pfSense VirtualBox appliance in order to use it as a personal firewall on Linux.
