      Yes you are right but I already learn how to allow remote connection by disabling firewall and you can manage it easily via hyper-v role from another machine (windows 8 for ex)

      But you should NOT have learned that, that is very bad!!

        Ok since you all agreed that xenserver is suitable for my situation I will opt for it even if I already lost one dvd 🙂 because I just burn the hyper-v iso.
        But primise me if I have any trouble you will rescue me because I'm really fear to use it . Linux is scary
        And also the fact that hyper-v may not sopport pfsense frighten me lol

        But you should not be doing anything with Linux. You are using XenServer. Xen is not Linux. Yes there is Linux in the Dom0 but you never need to go into that. That's under the hood. This is a virtualization appliance, that there is Linux is only a point of interest, not of relevance to your support or decision making here.

          Well. And also it look like hyper-v having some issue with freebsd
          I think linux hypervisor is more compatible with pfsense than windows hypervisor? ?? Is it true?

            pfsense is a linux distro.

            I haven't heard of any compatibility issues with it, and XenServer. I would expect more issues with Hyper-V and pfsense more than anything else.

            But the Hypervisor shouldn't care what the ISO is. It just gets run as a machine, within another machine.

              Because I just check on pfsense forum and I find some people complaining about some issue when using pfsense in hyper-v

                Yes, even Linux support is relatively new in HyperV. HyperV is good but it is not mature and has not had much time to get aware from the most basic or common support needs.

                  No, the name pfSense itself refers to the fact that it is FreeBSD. There is no Linux anywhere near it.

                    Main issue is lack of PV drivers.

                      It would not be expected to work. FreeBSD doesn't run on Azure either, yet.

                        The issue specifically reside in nic and traffic speed according to what I had found

                          Which is controlled by the PV drivers (or the lack thereof.)

                                Here's a description of PV Drivers and why they should be used.

                                    i follow your opinion and choose XenServer, the XenCenter look great and has a nice GUI user friendly, but i remark that XenServer consume too much RAM, almost half of my RAM memory, in this case i will have only 1 GB RAM for guest (in my situation 2 guest) freePBX will get 500 MB and pfsense will get 500 MB, i don't think that it will be enough ??

                                      Does all hypervisors consume such memory or only XenServer ???

                                        Pretty much every Hypervisor is going to consume at least 2 GB of memory.

                                        Without going out and searching for the minimum my self. But 2GB isn't really much at all.

                                        Granted it is on your system though.

                                          Any reason you can't increase the amount of RAM? The cost should be minimal.

                                            sure i'm planning to do that, i will add another 2 GB, i hope the CPU work fine because there is no way to increase !
