1. Click Next to start the Setup Wizard.
2. Click Next after reading the information on Netgate Global Support.
3. Use the following items as a guide to configure the options on the General Information page:
Hostname
Any desired hostname name can be entered to identify the firewall. For the purposes of this guide,
the default hostname pfsense is used.
Domain
The domain name under which the firewall operates. The default home.arpa is used for the
purposes of this tutorial.
DNS Servers
For purposes of this setup guide, use the Google public DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
Note: The firewall defaults to acting as a resolver and clients will not utilize these forwarding
DNS servers. However, these servers give the firewall itself a way to ensure it has working DNS
if resolving the default way does not work properly.
Type in the DNS Server information and Click Next.
4. Use the following information for the Time Server Information page:
Time Server Hostname
Use the default time server address. The default hostname is suitable for both IPv4 and IPv6 NTP
clients.
Timezone
Select a geographically named time zone for the location of the firewall.
