I installed Palo Alto VM on a physical PC running ESXI with two NICs and could not get the second interface working, looked everywhere. It turned out that I just had what you had in the video at 6:39 that I could not select the new portgroup when adding second NIC. Just a glitch haha but it works now. Thank you
Hi Austin, so in the LAB_LAN_PG, the virtual switch was set to the LAB_LAN_SW. That LAB_LAN_SW held the physical network adapter for my lab's LAN. That is what I use to make my virtual lab, physical.
@@thecybersecuritymindset I am Legit lost I have 2 network adapters in my server that show up under physical NIC's but I can only use 1 of them when making any virtual switch or Port group so when I load up pfSense it can only see 1 nic. ???
Can this type of firewall also be used to replace a physical firewall aka would I be able to filter traffic for a physical desktop or laptop if my network is setup correctly ?
Thanks for your videos. it is possible to create a video on how to setup LACP between a ESXI server and a switch? It is worth setup LACP between a ESXI server and a switch to increase speed? or better to assign each ethernet adapters directly to virtual machines? Thanks
Hi! I've assigned a physical NIC on my VMware server to my cable modem, pfSense sees that as the WAN port. I do the same for the LAN side of things as well.
Hey R L - Assuming you have a basic network and no vlans or inter-vlan routing, you could use your pfSense vm as your gateway address when you assign them an IP.
Hi Alexander Thanks for these videos, I have a problem with NAT 1:1 in pfsense, when configuring the NAT for the apache server it lost internet access, do you know why that might happen?
Good afternoon friend, I saw your video class and I really liked it. I would like some help, I just want to install Pfsense on VMware ESXi, I have two physical network cards installed on my ESXi server, I saw that you installed two Switch as it is in my case? I use only one physical card or I use both. If possible, send me your contact. Thanks! Adrian
Alex you are a good instructor! Thank you bruz!
I appreciate that!

It'd be great to know what your "LAB_LAN_PG" was comprised of, seeing as how it was used but already present. Thanks!

@@thecybersecuritymindset so are you using the uplink to do a LAN handoff to another switch?
*physical switch

Good topic. good luck
I am trying to get the right settings configured in ESXi to allow my virtualized PFSense firewall to get the actual Modem's Real world Ip address

Yes, you can run pfSense virtually to protect your physical network.
Great job Alex, was very useful. Now I need to find out how to fix my ESXI. vSphere/vCenter can not connect to my ESXi server.
You can't connect ESXi to VCenter after you setup PFSense?
Thanks for your videos.

thanks for the video: but how can assign directly WAN public IP to pfsence if it is VM machine ?
Hi! I've assigned a physical NIC on my VMware server to my cable modem, pfSense sees that as the WAN port. I do the same for the LAN side of things as well.
Helpful video. Question.. If I want the clients on my network to use the pfSense (ESXi) as the gateway to talk to the internet, how can I do this?

Thank you for the video. You have your LAB_WAN_SW connected to vmnic0; what do you have the LAB_LAN_SW connected to?
I am stuck on the same thing.. I wish he would have started form scratch on that.. I think you need 3 NIC's in your system I'm lost too
@@Mr_Meowingtons same, did you figure it out?
is there anyone who can help with error "fatal trap 12" during installation?
I didnt get the part where lan switch and port group config. do they have nic or not?
Yes, the virtual switches should have a physical NIC assigned.
I need some help
