Looking for Guided Video on Setting Up Netgate Nexus Controller (incl. Firewall Rules)?

Site Feedback & Video Suggestions

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to get the Netgate Nexus Controller up and running, and was wondering if anyone knows of a good step-by-step video guide that walks through the process.

What I’d love to see covered is:

  • How to turn on and set up the Nexus Controller.

  • Any firewall rules that need to be added so the connection works properly.

  • How to connect and manage different pfSense Plus instances through the controller.

  • Tips for best practices (like keeping access secure and making sure everything is licensed/activated correctly).

I’ve looked at the official Netgate blog and the documentation, but a guided video would really help me (and probably others) follow along more easily.

If anyone has come across something like this on YouTube or elsewhere, I’d really appreciate a link!

Thanks in advance.

This might go into the Video suggestion category. @LTS_Tom has been looking to do some more pfsense videos :wink:

I would say doing this type of video may be hard unless you have a couple of PFSense firewall laying around.

Recording this type of video , may shown clients sensitive data

I do plan on making that video at some point, but I have not really had time to set it up and test it.

Thanks, Tom! I completely understand—looking forward to the video whenever you get the chance to make it. I’ve been a fan of your work for years and really appreciate the time you took to respond.
