Preparation work before the experiment: (1) the virtual machine VMware required for the experiment has been installed (2) the PSsense2.1.5 image file is downloaded locally.

The steps of the experiment:

First step: (1) first create a new virtual machine "File"-"New Virtual Machine"-Select "Custom"-Click "next"

(2) in the "New Virtual Machine Wizard"-"install the guest operating system" page, select "installer CD Image File (iso) (M)" to point the path to the PSsense2.1.5 image file we downloaded, and then click "next".

(3) on the "New Virtual Machine Wizard" page, select the client operating system page, select "other"-"version", select "FreeBSD"; click "next"

(4) in the "named virtual machine" on the New Virtual Machine wizard page, change the "virtual name" to "PFsense"; "location" we can select a storage location.

(5) in the New Virtual Machine wizard page, select "use bridged Network" in the "Network Type" page; then click "next". For the latter settings, we just need to keep the default and click "next". At this point, the virtual machine is created.

Step 2: because PFsense requires two network cards, one of which is used as a "WAN" port and the other as a "LAN" port, the default of the above operation is that there is only one network card, so we need to add a network card before starting the system.

(1) Click "Virtual Machine"-"Settings"-Select the network adapter, and then click "add"; select "bridging mode" for this network connection and check "copy physical network connection status".

(2) after the boot system starts to install the PFsense; image boot, it will appear as follows

The screen that appears here is whether you set this computer to VLANS (self-understanding is to equate this computer with a switch); here we set the option to NO.

(3) the following page will show the two kinds of network cards we added. At this time, we can plan which network card is used as the "WAN" port and which network card is used as the "LAN" port.

(4) at this point, we begin to manually set which network card as the "WAN" port and which network card as the "LAN", and save this setting for a while.

(4) after these settings are completed, the PFsense program will be installed.

(5) after that, the page will appear as follows, which means to change the video font default; change the screenmap default; change the keymap default; accept these settings. Here we choose the last item (Accept these settings).

(6) in the partition selection, we choose "Quick/Easy Install"

(7) after the PFsense installation is complete, we begin to set the IP addresses of the "WAN" port and the "LAN" port. At this point, the "WAN" port is set to the public network IP, and the "LAN" port is set to private IP.

Note: we chose Y for the HTTP function (we can access the page through the HTTP function in the IE browser).

We can enter the IP address of the "LAN" port on the browser and enter the graphical interface, where the PFsense is installed successfully (the default user name is admin password is pfsense).
