Lab 1.0: Firewall and Work Station

Summary

During this lab I learned how to set up a pfsense firewall and have a working windows 10 computer connect through it. We started with connecting to the Vsphere client to access our virtual machines from there we set up the networking for the Firewall VM. Then turned to the windows VM and changed the hostname and the IPv4 configuration to use the ip of the firewall as the DNS of the workstation. After that and once the connection was set we pinged the Champlain servers to confirm it was connected.
