How to Install pfSense on Your PC: Step-by-Step Tutorial for Beginners

Did you try PFsense?

can i use usb to lan converter instead of lan card?

I install two NIC cards using PCIE which has two Ethernet ports each plus the integrated one that comes in my computer. How do I determine which one is re0, re1, etc ?

Thanks for this tutorial, It was actually as straight forward as I thought, but The reason I searched for these videos was because I was looking to see if Pfsense could run on the same pc and still be used as a PC, but it looks like this takes up the entire PC for routing. Thats okay, but it means I need to go look for an old PC to use for PfSense.

Can the PC vlan route

can you use a USB nic for an additional interface?

I have a n5105 with 16gb, could be nice use squid?

I purchased a pretty loade pfsense box with Lan and wan ports. I need to connect. A laptop to it. What cable from the laptop to the pfsense pre loaded box

I have a pc running windows 11, is it possible to install the pfsense in that PC and use Win11 and pfsense

Great one !

1 cable will be connected from eth1 to the LAN Port on your router, how about the other cable?

I'm done to install but when it is being rebooted, boot failure.

Its okay if I used USB to LAN?

Hi torogi pro, i just have a question. i'm trying to use the pfsense now. but after the installation. i connect the laptop on the switch but doesn't have internet connection. is there any setup to do .

How to use multiple users on same time

thanks for this tutorial

so it monopolise the whole pc??? i guess the best thing would be a barebone pc for that..

Hi there, i have a question, why you didn't add wifi card instead of lan card ?? one lan card as wan connect to router and wifi card as lan give internet to all your devices wirelessly ??!!

Hello Torogi, please can you reply to my question which is if i add NIC card - 1.25G Gigabit Ethernet Converged Network Card, with Intel 82576 Chip, does the speed on Lan will be 1.25GBe for both Dual RJ45 Ports???

Can we use usb lan?

Thank you Sir!

My installation halts on the BTX loader in the beginning.
What am I doing wrong?

I see your PC specs on the dashboard. How much of a thruput can you achieve with it? I guess the NICs are Gigabit capable in theory

Hi Can pfsense be configured in transparent mode (bridged) ? thanks

Can I use this same set up with the only difference being that I partition my pc's hard drive? This way I don't have have 2 pc running at the same time.

Thank you for the video. It was very instructive. You need a faster internet though lol

Thank you bro. 🤘

as I understand it the second network card you added will be the WAN then?

Any idea why I get mountroot> when trying to install ?

Hello Torogi
I loved this tutorial and the way you presented things but one of my main request here would be know if you can make a video or 2 (or even more) focusing onhow to deploy a captive portale on PfSense.
Captive portals actually is an additional security level for people like me who have high speed internet at home (for work purposes) but would love manually allow peoples in or take them out, also build profile that I can shape easily allowing this and disallowing that because each person have different needs.

Will be pleased if such serie could be recorded and published.

mali po yata yung term mo na NIC card yung ibigsabihin po kasi ng NIC Network Interface Card. mali din po yata na tawagin disk yung flashdrive tsaka ssd.

Done 1000% thanks bro

Paano lagyan configure yung wan idol

dear sir @Torogi Pro
please make a tutorial pfsense load balancing 3 isp, isp A=60mb isp B=60mn isp C=20mb and games route traffic to isp C only

Never trust someone using WinRAR on their PC. Especially when 7zip exists and is FAR superior in every way.

Thank ubuddy
