Description

Hello Cloudstack Team,

This is really awesome, I am trying to understand the stack. Thanks for a detailed document and efforts from the community.

My big question is about securing my VPC, Is there a way I can use a software firewall like Pfsense or OPNsense as my VPN firewall or gateway.

I Don't see any document on the same and my concern is not about using an external Physical Firewall like Cisco or PaloAlto.

It would be great to know if it is possible.

Thanks in advance.

Research direction

No files or tests are identified. Start by checking CloudStack’s VPC networking and firewall documentation for supported gateway or provider options, then verify whether pfSense or OPNsense can be used. Done means documenting the supported setup and requirements, or clearly stating that these software firewalls are unsupported.
