When I created the pfsense instance within UTM, I used a single network interface running in bridged mode.
Using UTM, we can simply run the AMD64 bit version of pfsense on the M1 processor.įor my setup, I ended up with three interfaces. In my specific case, I am running on MacOS with an Apple M1 process.
One of the cool things about running pfsense is you can run it on pretty much anything. Not everything I cover here will be required, but may be helpful as I sometimes run into or have some unique situations. There are many great articles and videos out there, but I wasn't able to find anything which was complete and covered some of the issues I ran into along the way. This may end up being a multi-part tutorial and walkthrough, I will see how this goes and where I end up.Īs the title says, I will be using pfsense, running virtually to securely connect to a virtual private cloud and virtual server instance running in AWS.
