Hello,

I installed the PfSense system (pfSense-CE-2.4.4) on a virtual machine (Vmware)
The LAN IP is: 192.168.10.10 which is connected to the Vmnet3 network
The MMZ IP is: 192.168.10.50 which is connected to the Vmnet4 network
I am trying to access the web interface of pfSense on a Windows 7 Pro virtual machine (from the VMnet3 and 4 card) but with no success.
I cannot access pfSense via the web interface to configure it.

Can you help me?

    Hello,

    As far as I remember, pfSense blocks access from the WAN as soon as the LAN is configured.
    So it needs to be accessed from a machine on the LAN network. If necessary, you can create a firewall rule to allow access from the WAN.

    Hello,

    Given the problem you described, a legitimate question would be to check if you can route from your Windows 7 Pro virtual machine to the IP address of the web server you are trying to reach. You can, for example, see if you can ping the server from your Windows 7 VM. If it fails, check that the server is routable from the client and that none of the devices involved in the communication are blocking the connection.

    A small diagram describing your network, the machines involved, and the IP addresses associated with each network interface wouldn't hurt to better understand your issue.

    Good luck.
