VMware Workstation Home Lab Part 1 - PFSense Networking
VMware Workstation Home Lab Part 1 - PFSense Networking
In any VMware environment, you need several networks and DNS as a prerequisite. To replicate the network aspect in a nested situation, I decided to use a PFSense VM to function as a firewall, router, and DNS server for the other VMs. The WAN interface is connected to the VMware Workstation NAT network, and then other interfaces are connected to Host-Only networks. This way, we can create and fully control new networks like management, vMotion, and vSAN the way we would manage them in a physical environment.
