Setup VLAN on pfSense virtualized in Proxmox

Intro

VLAN's are an important part of large networks but can also be useful for smaller networks. Even many home WI-FI routers have VLAN's to some extent with an option for giving guests a WI-FI connection blocked off from the rest of the network.

In pfSense, you can do so much more once you have it up and running. You can for example have IOT devices and block it from reaching the internet or give guests access to certain services on your network while blocking access to others.

Not a written guide

Because of a small amount of free time, I will take a break from writing guides and focus on videos. I might come back to do it later, but no promises.
