gettin pfSense working on Ubuntu 15.10 host
Posted: 14. Mar 2016, 15:54
Hi all,
I'm trying to get pfSense, the firewall, installed on an Ubuntu host using virtualbox. I am able to get pfSense started, it gives me the LAN ip of 192.168.1.1 on em1 but when I type the 192.168.1.1 in my browser, it cannot find the host. I have given the pfSense 2 nic's one Wan, which seems to be working fine after ping, and the other, the LAN, set as vboxnet0, which is set to a default ip of 192.168.1.1. Can anyone tell me what I am missing. BTW, I'm on a laptop with only 1 wifi port. The second nic I am assuming is virtual as per the vbox setup, that second nic, the LAN, is set up as Host-only adapter. The vboxnet0 ifconfig readout is:
vboxnet0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 0a:00:27:00:00:00
inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::800
fe00:0/64 Scope:Link

TX packets:377 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:48599 (48.5 KB)
I have set the vbox LAN connection to promiscuous to allow VMs.
I think this is a VBox issue since the firewall, pfSense, is giving me the address but I cannot access it. I am trying to create a router with my pfSense acting as the firewall between the host OS and other virtualized machines on my laptop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much.
