Back in PFSense, select Interfaces -> assignments.Once added, make note of the IP address and subnet.Under VPC use the drop down to select the VPC you created earlier.Select your VM and go to Settings -> IPv4.In Vultr go to Network -> VPC Networks.This stops anyone from being able to access the web console.) Destination: WAN Address, Protocol: TCP, Source: singe host or alias / any (I would highly recommend putting in the IP address from which you are accessing PFSense, if it’s static. Add a rule with the following options.If you don’t add this rule, when we add the LAN later, it will block us from accessing PFsense via the WAN IP. Enter a hostname and DNS servers if you like.At the log in screen enter admin and pfsense as the password.Type in the IP assigned to your server.Press enter for the LAN as we don’t have one currently.

Go back to the console and once your VM has rebooted, you should see the VLAN setup screen.

Now go back to your VM Instance and under Settings -> Custom ISO.When PFSense is done, you will see this screen.At ZFS Configuration press space and then enter.Select Accept, then Install, then Select, then OK, then Select, then OK.When ready you should see the PFSense setup screen in the console.You can then click on the “ View Console” button in the top right.Change the ISO to PFsense and click “ Attach ISO and Reboot“.Click on your instance and go to Settings, click on Custom ISO.*If you don’t install FreeBSD first, PFSense won’t be able to find a Drive. We install FreeBSD to set up the drives initially. Let your instance install, it will show Running when finished.Leave the other options default, enter a Server Label of “PFSense”.The $5 instance should do nicely for a HomeLab. Select FreeBSD 12.2 as the server OS and select the size of your instance.Select the location of your instance (Ideally the closest to you).Log into Vultr and select deploy a new Cloud Compute Instance.*I won’t be showing you how to setup a site-to-site VPN. I have blocked all access to the VM’s using their assigned public IP and only allow access from behind PFSense using its assigned Public IP. I also wanted to have some more advanced routing options.īelow I will show you how I have used PFSense to broker access to my other VM’s on Vultr. I wanted to be able to have a site-to-site VPN from Vultr to my homelab setup. I use PFSense normally and wanted to use this on Vultr too. Now the Firewall from Vultr is fine, however I wanted something a little more advanced. Recently I have set up some of my VM’s on Vultr.
