asked on Hyper-V Test Lab
Hi Everyone
I've set up a small Hyper-V Active Directory test lab which is isolated from our production network. I have set it up using a separate internet line that we use for guest WiFi access.
I have the Hyper-V server on a static IP address on a 192.168.1.xx address.
I have then created a VM running PfSense router to provide the VMs internet access and to further segregate them. The VMs are connected to a separate Private switch that use IP addresses on 10.10.1.xx range.
I have got the basic connectivity working now, but I am just wondering if it is possible to use the PfSense to act as a VPN so I can connect into the AD domain from home etc.
I'm not looking for detailed instructions on setting it up, but just to know if its possible, or whether I need to approach it in a different way.
Cheers
Matthew

Thanks for the link, definitely a good read. What I can't quite get my head round is how I get access to the VMs that are on the 10.10.1.xx range as the Hypervisor, and any other clients I guess are on the 192.168.1.xx range, much like how it is set up in a residential setting. So I can see how I could connect via the VPN to those machines e.g. the hyper-v server, but not the actual VMs.
Or does the router part of pfsense handle all of this ?
Just like to properly have my head round stuff before I get stuck in
:)
I'm sure I'm missing something pretty obvious but just can't seem to join up all the dots.
If anyone has anymore tutorials or guides that would be great.
Cheers
