Installing pfSense Community Edition 2.5.2 firewall on ESXi VM

In preparation for a demo environment, I needed to provision a firewall to provide internet access to the network. I decided to use the (free) pfSense Community Edition FreeBSD firewall inside of a VMware Virtual Machine.

In this video guide, I show how to install, configure, and deploy a simple pfSense firewall appliance in the virtual environment.
