Hi! I should need help with pfsense and esxi i running esxi on a server with 2 network cards and i run esxi webui and pfsense wan on same port and lan interface on the another port and how should i do, If i connect my wan (ISP) to the wan / esxi webui port should it work or esxi webui being port forwarded to the public ip? Or can i do so? or should i need set a router before esxi and pfsense to get it working? or i need to change something somewhere? Please help me (Im 12 years ols)

 

Please help me

 

Thanks!

You don't want to publish the server management interface to the internet. Either reassign the WAN interface for pfsence (you should have multiple physical Ethernet ports) or change the LAN interface used for the WebUI. A physical port should be dedicated to the WAN interface. Esxi controls should be shared with the LAN interface or have it's own management LAN.

Do not put your vmkernel behind a virtual machine router/firewall. You need to make sure you can access the esxi host even if the VMS are down.

 

using a vmkernel ip on the same portgroup as a vm is fine but trying to do routing inside a VM and relying on that routing for vmkernel is an unrecoverable situation waiting to happen.
