You will need to replace 42.42.42.1/32 with the IP of the dedicated ESXi host, replacing the last byte with 1. This will remove the default route that pfSense configured. So select the shell, and input those commands: What we will want to do is access the shell (option 8), and manually configure the routes to get access to internet. We won’t be able to configure the WAN interface from the console, as it does not allow a subnet of /32 to be created from the console. You can see that the interfaces were auto-detected by pfSense, and it configured the LAN network, but not the WAN. The first step will be to configure the network on the ESXi to prepare for the pfSense VM. – A second dedicated IP to permit SSH access to a VM that will be in the LAN of the pfSense VM, to permit access to the web configurator (might not be necessary, but that’s what we will be using in this guide). In this case we are using a failover IP from OVH, which permits multiple IPs for the same host. – Access to the ESXi to do the network configuring on the VM’s – ESXi installed and configured on the dedicated host. This guide will focus on installing pfSense on a dedicated host for ESXi, with multiple IP’s, with one dedicated to pfSense, as there are some pitfalls to the installation of pfSense with a dedicated IP. Installing an ESXi pfSense here is used primarily as a IPSec VPN endpoint, but at the same time it will be used as a firewall/router/DHCP. It can however do much more than that, and assume the role of DNS, VPN, DHCP and more. PfSense is an open source firewall/router based on FreeBSD.
