install pfsense in a VM where the host machine gets it's ip from the VM.

Why are you like this, and who hurt you??

It's actually not bad to do it as long as your host machine has a static ip. Makes it easier to take a snapshot before you make major changes. Just be prepared with an extra router. If you have a family the second the Internet is not working you will be blamed.

Yeah, that's reasonable

This not so much

Lol, I get blamed enough for DNS, I don't need routing too
