Pfsense In Virtualbox Vm For Mac

Posted on
Virtualbox

Create-vbox-pfsense Creates a complete VirtualBox machine for pfSense. Prerequisites Currently we only support Mac OS X (development and testing was done on Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.1), Linux support later (on request).

I just want to ask for help about pfSense., I used pfSense because my router doesn't support a port forwarding however pfsense's wan IP in virtualbox is different from my host operating systems public IP and for that i cant access my computer remotely if I'm not at home. But whenever I try to ping the pfsense vm I get the usual message, Destination Host: unreachable. I've disabled Firewalls on the Windows machines, hoping that would fix the issue, nothing. I can access the internet with the pfsense machine via the Bridged Adapter.

In order to build an run the VirtualBox machine, we need some other tools on our dev box. To create and run the pfSense Box.

To install cdrtools and mkisofs tools. Port install cdrtools - we need mkisofs to manipulate the original ISO image Getting started Just clone this repo and build/start your pfSense VBox with the following commands: git clone cd create-vbox-pfsense./make-pfsense-vbox.sh Default usernames and passwords User root with password vagrant User admin with password pfsense User vagrant with password vagrant The user vagrant has uid=0, it's a root user. Attention, the sudo command will not work in pfSense. First version is already working This is the first running version of my script “make-pfsense-vbox.sh”. Install mac on windows. It will download the pfSense 2.1 ISO and creates a complete VM for use with VirtualBox.

There are some more useful scripts: vm-start.sh - starts the VM from CLI vm-clean.sh - stops/destroys the VM from CLI make-all.sh - securely creates a new VM (even stops/destroy a running VM) ISO Overlays You can now easily modify and overwrite every file within the original ISO image. Just make a copy of a specific file, put it in the iso-overlay folder, and change these files. You have to preserve the original directory structure.
