I start pfSense. The WAN interface takes an IP address from DHCP, that address is 10.0.2.15 / 24. As you can see, that address is outside the Windows network. I do not understand why the DHCP service gives pfSense that IP.

I have tried to set up the IP manually with an IP address that is inside the Windows subnet, for example 192.168.1.50 / 24. If I do that, I can't PING neither Windows nor the router, and of course the same occurs if I try to ping from Windows to pfSense.

With this configuration, DHCP does not give any IP to the pfSense's WAN interface. I have to put it manually. With this configuration, I cannot ping pfSense from Windows to pfSense. The same for the opposite.

As you said you have installed pfsense on virtualbox so the ip allocated to pfsense interface is issued by virtualbox DHCP service thats why you are getting 10.0.2.15 / 24 on pfsense, also bridging is not active/configured or not working on your host machine on which you installed virtualbox

First setup bridge on virtualbox and select proper bridge interface on which your are connected to your LAN network, once done you should be able to get ip address to your guest machine on virtualbox from your LAN dhcp server i.e 192.168.1.0/24, if still your not getting lan ip on pfsense guest then check if any mac address binding is active on your dhcp server which is not allocating ip to pfsense

Once you are able to access WebGUI do the following:(first run pfctl -d to disable the packet filter temporarily): Interfaces > WAN > Block private networks and loopback addresses + hit Apply Changes.

On the VM you would need to enable the sshd service sudo systemctl enable sshd.service and start the daemon sudo systemctl start sshd.service.
You also would need to verify that ssh is allowed through the firewall. I use the gui firewalld-config which would also need installed. sudo dnf install firewalld-config I do not remember whether ssh is allowed to port 22 by default or not.

I do think that using nat will be a hindrance unless you have configured the host to allow port forwarding. I use bridged on the VM and connect it to the default virbr0 device on my fedora host. I also use libvirt and QEMU on my fedora host. Cannot speak to what would work with a windows host and using virtualbox with a fedora VM.

believe me I dislike Windows, but is not because I love it somuch that I need to have a windows container. My company heavily relies on Windows, that is not going to be matter of hours/days to move our products to a platform independent env.

If you must deploy a hypervisor, WSL2 or Hyper-V is a mess to deploy on a windows box that is nested in ESXi is a mess, and a real pain to get up and running. Virtualbox with Docker Toolbox maybe a valuable option here is the github.

Good post @rimelek !
Yes, shortly after I made that post I realized that docker toolbox is no longer supported by docker. Therefore I gave in and deployed Hyper-V with WSL2 (not sure if both are needed or not). Here are the instructions and links I followed to get it all done:

I have never used QEMU on Windows. Only on Linux with KVM, but I used UTM on MacOS to install a Linux OS and install Docker. UTM is based on QEMU. It worked but the performance will depend on your machine.

For the windows subsystem, you want to be installing via conda not apt, that will install QIIME 1, which is not what you want :). Inside the windows subsystem, you can just use these installation instructions and treat it as a linux machine (because it actually is!).

With the seamless windows feature of Oracle VM VirtualBox, you can have the windows that are displayed within a virtual machine appear side by side next to the windows of your host. This feature is supported for the following guest operating systems, provided that the Guest Additions are installed:

After seamless windows are enabled, Oracle VM VirtualBox suppresses the display of the desktop background of your guest, allowing you to run the windows of your guest operating system seamlessly next to the windows of your host.

To enable seamless mode, after starting the virtual machine, press the Host key + L. The Host key is normally the right control key. This will enlarge the size of the VM's display to the size of your host screen and mask out the guest operating system's background. To disable seamless windows and go back to the normal VM display, press the Host key + L again.

I recently ran into a problem/bug using the latest release of Virtualbox on Ubuntu. Using the latest version from their website caused my windows 10 client to constantly crash. I tried for a while to get it to work and since there are a few different ways of installing VirtualBox with it's extension packs, I decided to do a video on it for Ubuntu 22.04!
