In this article our focus is Pfsense setup, basic configuration and overview of features available in the security distribution of FreeBSD. In this tutorial we will run network wizard for basic setting of firewall and detailed overview of services. After the installation process following snapshot. A client of mine has asked me if it would be possible to run pfSense as a Microsoft Azure IaaS Virtual Machine. PfSense® software is a free, open source customized distribution of FreeBSD, specifically tailored for use as a firewall and router that is entirely managed via web interface. ![]() At that time, I had in mind that running FreeBSD 10 under Hyper-V and in Microsoft Azure, is something that can be done. So, I decided to build a deployment as a Proof of Concept and to write a blog post about this deployment. This post will provide instructions and all the necessary steps to prepare, upload and run pfSense-2.2.3 in Microsoft Azure. Please note, that FreeBSD is not currently an in Microsoft Azure and therefore is not supported. Resources • • • Design Let’s put, what we want to achieve, into context.

Create a Multi-NIC Virtual Machine The custom image that we created previously, can be used in order to create a pfSense Virtual Machine with two Virtual Network Interfaces (vNIC), in Microsoft Azure. More details about creating a Virtual Machine with Multiple vNICs in Microsoft Azure, you can find in a previous post here: A pfSense Virtual Machine with two vNICs will be created by running the following PowerShell commands. VMs $MultiVM Setup User Defined Routes With user defined routes, we have complete control over the traffic flow in our virtual network. Virtual network by default provides system routes for traffic flow between virtual machines.
