Enter the desired name of the VM, select “BSD” from “Type” drop-down menu
and select “FreeBSD 32 or 64bit” from Version drop-down menu.

Select the desired ram for your VM. I would recommend using 512MB but it
will run smoothly at 256MB if you are running low on RAM.
Step 3:
Select the name, location, and size of the virtual hard disk, I would
recommend at least 4GB in size but the minimum requirement is 1 GB if you
are running low on disk space and click “Create”.
You have successfully created Virtual Machine. In the next step, we will link
the pfsense image le to the virtual optical drive.
Step 4:
Click “Settings” in the VirtualBox Manager at the upper left corner and
select “Storage” tab on the left panel. Hit the drive icon at the bottom of
the page and select “Add Optical Drive”.
A new window will pop up, hit the “Choose disk” button and select the
pfsense ISO le you downloaded and extracted and click “Ok”.
Step 5:
Now we will add two network adapters in our Virtual Machine. The rst
adapter will be for WAN(Internet) and the other for LAN(Local Network). Click

settings are same as the image below.

the “Attached to” drop-down menu. Make sure rest of the settings are same

After this, the setup will complete the installation and select the reboot
button in the next menu. Now you can remove the Virtual Optical Drive from
the “Settings” menu of the Virtual Manager.

In this step, we will set up the IP address for the default gateway and
con gure DHCP server for LAN. Select “Set interface(s) IP address and hit
enter.
Select LAN in the Available Interfaces by entering “2” and hit enter. Now you
will be prompted to enter LAN IP address. I will use 10.0.0.1, you can choose
any IP address of your choice. Now it will ask you to enter Subnet bit count,
enter “24” and hit enter.
Now we will skip next two steps just click enter twice, it will skip the two
steps and you will be prompted “Do you want to enable DHCP server on LAN”
type “y” and hit enter.
