pfSense Setup

On this post i will cover pfSense configurations made: Vlan setup Firewall rules VM setup Since our homelab is built on top of ESXi also pfSense is stood up there. I have allocated 1 vCPU and 1GB of Memory, that should be enough for this setup. I have run pfSense on production environment and is not resource intensive. Initial Configuration Once pfSense is running we need to configure WAN and Lan interface

Architecture

On the following sections i will explain what i have created on my HomeLab, Hardware - Dell OptiPlex 7010 Memory - 16 GB 4 CPUs x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz 256 Gb of SSD Storage Hypervisor - ESXi-7 Goal HomeLab Architecture

Network

ESXi Network I do not have a router at this point so everything will be done on my Dell PC and ESXi Below image shows what port groups i have created for the HomeLab machines Since based on the architecture we will have 3 Vlans is neccessary to create 3 port groups in ESXi for our vlans. Also we need a trunk port group that will have all Vlans. Trunk and Wan will be assigned to pfsense VM
