If need-be you can start it up and have it take over Take a clone of your pfSense on another host when doing anything dangerous.pfSense is small and live migrations are fast Have 2 hosts and use live migration when doing hardware maintenance.Set the pfSense VM to autostart with the host, and do a test power cycle to see what will happen after a power outage.Use static IPs for everything that needs to be on before the pfSense VM starts (preferably all servers).hypervisor mgmt consoles) if pfSense is down Have some way of accessing your most important servers (ex.Paravirtual (VMXNET3) is much more CPU efficient, especially for VM-to-VM traffic.Having your WAN (and everything else) as a VLAN makes network changes and expansion much easier.With only 1 NIC, there is no order to break, and there are 4000+ potential VLANs to use as interfaces, including WAN(s).There is a limit of 10 NICs per VM in ESXi.pfSense will break if the NIC order is changed (interface assignment gets messed up), many ways this can happen.
Consider having only 1 NIC (with multiple VLANs) in the pfSense VM, and use paravirtual device or VMXNET3 in ESXi.in their blacklist, which is impossible.PfSense in a VM has lots of benefits, people do it all the time, I've done it for years. When you use a CNAME cloaking aware DNS server like AdGuard or Pi-Hole, it only needs to maintain in its blacklist, whereas PFBlockerNG would need to keep. is on the blacklist, so it returns 172.16.0.1 (or whatever) for and If you use AdGuard, it sees that and have CNAME entries for.
#PFSENSE ADGUARD HOME UPDATE#
PFBlockerNG can't update its lists that fast. Then a few minutes later changes their site to make calls to which has a CNAME entry for. Suppose PFBlockerNG has in their blacklist. makes calls to, which has a CNAME entry for. If changes their domain, then naturally PFBlockerNG needs to update their list. PFBlockerNG returns 172.16.0.1 (or whatever) for a DNS lookup of because is on the blacklist. By your logic you shouldn't bother with PFBlockerNG It is no more easily circumvented than PFBlockerNG blocking non CNAME cloaked subdomains by lists. I don't have any experience with VLANs but I'd imagine you just need to apply these rules for your multiple VLANs. (Do the same on TCP port 853 for DNS over TLS). Take UDP traffic from the LAN interface that doesn't match (use the invert match checkbox) the AdGuard DNS IP, with a destination of any IP address and port 53, and redirect it to a target IP of your AdGuard DNS server with a target port of 53. You can accomplish this by creating a NAT port forwarding rule. What I would recommend instead is to reroute all DNS traffic that is destined for external DNS servers to your AdGuard DNS server. These rules should be placed at or near the top of your firewall rules list so that they are not bypassed by other rules. You should repeat this rule for port 853 to block external DNS over TLS traffic. If you truly want to just outright block all external DNS, then you need to create a new LAN firewall rule that says any traffic not from the AdGuard DNS IP (use the invert match checkbox) that has a destination of any IP address and port 53 should be blocked. These next steps are only necessary in achieving that goal. You specifically said you want to block all external DNS. I'm also going to assume you're going to leave your PFSense router as your DHCP server.įirst step is to change the DNS server in your DHCP server settings so that all DHCP clients get handed the AdGuard DNS IP. r/pfblockerng /r/sysadmin /r/networking /r/homelab /r/homenetworkingīased on "block external DNS" I'm going to assuming that your AdGuard DNS server is set up in your LAN.

You can install the software yourself on your own hardware. You can buy official pfSense appliances directly from Netgate or a Netgate Partner. The pfSense project is a free, open source tailored version of FreeBSD for use as a firewall and router with an easy-to-use web interface.
