I’ll be honest you shouldn’t rely on a VM to host your routing connection - I do it and I know I will be left in a lurch *AGAIN* (three times so far) so I keep a second and third VM spun up at all times in case the Guest OS goes wonky.
Make a new VM. That’s your easiest, cheapest route. After you do that and re-create your config (there’s a way to hack the old one on but I don’t recommend trying it… total PITA) buy a hardware version of pfSense, probably the APU from NetGate ($200 disassembled) and put that in the middle… you can still have your VM firewall doing the filtering (I’d probably recommend it) but you won’t have to worry about the VM failing being the issue.
