In video 2 of the homelab series, there’s a section about pfSense. Are you running pfSense on a dedicated device or VM?
I thought you have chosen the VM path, but not sure. I went to the video of your friend Tom on pfSense and he’s recommending a dedicated machine for it?
Any thoughts you can share on that? E.g. VM is fine for homelabs, dedicated is more for small business, etc?
I don’t personally like to use VMs for something like pfsense, but many people do run it as a VM successfully. I prefer it to be separate, there’s some interesting challenges that you experience when you have virtualized your firewall.
