VCF Lab Series - Part 2 - Netgear pfSense Firewall & Pi-Hole DNS Setup

Configuring a pfSense Netgear 8200 Firewall and Pi-Hole DNS for VMware VCF Private Cloud In Part 2 of our VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Home Lab Series, I walk you through the detailed setup and configuration of two critical foundational services: the pfSense Netgate 8200 firewall and Pi-hole DNS servers with Unbound. You'll see how I: 🛠️ Configure the pfSense firewall for WAN and LAN access, NAT, and outbound hybrid rules 🛠️ Set up link aggregation (LAGG) on dual 10GbE links 🛠️ Deploy and configure Pi-hole as a local DNS and ad-blocking solution for the home lab 🛠️ Create A and PTR DNS records for critical components like vCenter, NSX-T Managers, ESXi hosts, and Cloud Builder 🛠️ Build DNS redundancy by deploying a second Pi-hole server and syncing records manually 🛠️ Prepare the network for future VCF 5.2.1 deployment across Dell R630 servers This video is ideal for anyone looking to build a robust, enterprise-grade home lab that mirrors real-world data center topologies using Cisco Nexus, VMware, pfSense, and Pi-hole technologies. Whether you’re a home lab enthusiast, VCDX candidate, or cloud architect, this series provides practical, step-by-step guidance to level up your infrastructure game. 📺 Watch the full series playlist:    • VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) #HomeLab Series   💡 Don’t forget to: ✅ Like this video if you find it helpful. ✅ Subscribe to the channel for more home lab, cloud-native tutorials and project showcases. ✅ Drop a comment with your thoughts or questions about the project.
