I switched to OpnSense from pfSense when they announced they aren't supporting x86 anymore. Although I would not use it as a business production device It could be of great use in many other circumstances, including spare router for some SMB. It could also be used as an 'on the go' diagnostic tool, an 'on the go' tunnelling devices, etc. Beaglebone black I have heard people putting pf on there but there are other alternatives to the Pi that will just work better for few more single digits of your hard earned cash.Īlso, I think installing it on a raspberry pi would be a good thing for testing, monitoring, sniffing, etc. If you even try I think you may be able to get a pfSense jail working on the Pi but I am not sure about that compatibility stuff there but I know pfSense can happily run in jails and VM's now.īut they do have a point, Pi really sucks at networking. Since the time of the original answer a few things have changed with the latest Pi hardware, BSD runs on ARM fine and pfSense has been overwhelmed with requests. And it would be interesting to play with.Īnd more can be added via the USB ports.
I think it would be a useful port to have for people that don't require a lot of bandwidth or want to implement their own cheap WIFI router. There seems to be Raspberry PI support in the pfsense github repository.

In this section, make sure the MAC address is already filled out.Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for users and developers of hardware and software for Raspberry Pi. NOTE: You could also create a static mapping the same way we did for the Pi, but since the device is already on the network, pfSense will already have the MAC address filled out for us. There were a few cases where Pi-Hole would block an ad, which would then cause the entire video to not load. You can manually renew the DHCP lease or reboot devices to speed this process up if you would like. Note: Depending on your DHCP lease time, it may take some time for all of the devices on the network to get the new address. I did not need to make any changes to configuration here.Ī much better way is to have pfSense hand out Scroll down a little bit to the server section and you will see a DNS Servers field. See the Pi-Hole documentation for information about this page. You could have this forward directly to a public DNS server. The one important step is the the upstream DNS setting.
#PFSENSE RASPBERRY PI 2018 INSTALL#
I recommend doing the semi-automated install rather than piping to bash. I logged in and started the Pi-Hole installer.
I then connected the Pi to a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and ethernet, and booted it up. Because my pfSense router is I downloaded the latest version of Raspbian and cloned it onto an SD card. Scroll down to the bottom, then click on Add to create a new Static Mapping. In order for Pi-Hole to function properly, it needs to have a consistent IP address. The reason for this is that I like having the ability to create DNS entries and aliases for machines within my network if needed.
#PFSENSE RASPBERRY PI 2018 MANUAL#
This should happen automatically, with no manual configuration of DNS settings on each device.Īny new device added to the network should automatically have ads blocked. This post outlines how I accomplished this. Change box passwordĪ few months ago, I decided to setup PiHole on a Raspberry Pi to block ads across all devices on my network. I have been using pfSense as my home router for a few years.
