3.4 Conﬁguring Hostname, Domain Name and DNS Servers

3.5 Hostname

For Hostname, any desired name can be entered as it does not affect functionality of the ﬁrewall. Assigning a hostname

to the ﬁrewall will allow the GUI to be accessed by hostname as well as IP address.

For the purposes of this guide, use pfsense for the hostname. The default hostname, pfsense may be left un-

changed.

Once saved in the conﬁguration, the GUI may be accessed by entering http://pfsense as well as http://192.168.1.1

3.6 Domain

If an existing DNS domain is in use within the local network (such as a Microsoft Active Directory domain), use that

domain here. This is the domain sufﬁx assigned to DHCP clients, which should match the internal network.

For networks without any internal DNS domains, enter any desired domain name. The default localdomain is used

for the purposes of this tutorial.

3.7 DNS Servers

The DNS server ﬁelds can be left blank if the DNS Resolver is used in non- forwarding mode, which is the default

behavior. The settings may also be left blank if the WAN connection is using DHCP, PPTP or PPPoE types of Internet
