When an update is released, you can take a snapshot of the system, run the update and if something doesn’t work, quickly and easily roll back to the snapshot. This gives you an incredibly easy rollback plan in case anything goes wrong. One of the many benefits of running pfSense inside of Proxmox is that you’re able to take snapshots right before upgrades. pfSense is a free and open source firewall and router that can be run inside of Proxmox as a virtual machine. Is there a way for me to initialize these NICs relevantly easy? (as it recognized but not loading properly, I can see igcX interface numbers and NIC's names in the boot logs).In this tutorial, we’re going to take a look at how to install pfSense on Proxmox. I love pfSense for it's stability, functionality, community, features and fan base and I hate to move to a different platform just because of minor (?) driver issue. I went 1 step further and downloaded the ('forbidden -)') opnsense just to see that it works and recognized properly (enter frustration phrase here).

Just to see if it will work as well - it didn't. I've tried installing version 2.7 DEVEL version, It is visible in the logs but fail to load successfully (can't recall the exact error though). The NICs fails to initiate and no interfaces are available :-( The machine arrived and to much of my surprise - it doesn't work. The seller reached out and mentioned that there are newer machines with i226v NICs and I (recklessly) agreed to the'upgrade'. So I got one with a Pentium N6005 and 2.5 B3 Intel NICs.

I wanted to get a newer (faster) machine with a new CPU and 2.5Gb NICs I'm running it on a fan less machine I purchased from Ali Express and all is well. I've been using pfSense for a couple of years now and I'm loving it! This is my 1st post here (so please be gentle :-) )
