Technical requirements

This chapter will provide examples of both peer-to-peer and client-server VPN connections. As a result, to follow along with the examples in this chapter, you will need two fully functional pfSense firewalls, with at least one node behind each firewall; each of the firewalls will be serving as a peer. This can be done in either a real-world or a virtual environment. The examples provided in this chapter are not particularly resource intensive, but you may need something more than a system that meets the bare minimum requirements for pfSense.
