Default route through vmnet1 on MAC

Hi 

I'm trying to route all MAC traffic through pfsense VM installed on this MAC but I cannot make it to work.
PFsense is configured with two interfaces as following:
vmnet1 > internal  >> VIRTUAL_ADAPTER_ADDR 192.168.50.1
In the /vmnet1/dhcpd.conf

host vmnet1 {
  hardware ethernet MAC;
  fixed-address 192.168.50.1;
  option domain-name-servers 192.168.50.254;
  option domain-name "";
  option routers 192.168.50.254;
}

vmnet8 > external  >> VIRTUAL_ADAPTER_ADDR192.168.12.1

host vmnet8 {
   hardware ethernet MAC;
       fixed-address 192.168.12.1;
       option domain-name-servers 0.0.0.0;
       option domain-name "";
       option routers 0.0.0.0;
}

I have also added to /etc/resolv.conf   nameserver IP that points to pfsense 192.168.50.254
I have also added default route through 192.168.50.254 however I still cannot make it to work 
DNS resolution works but I cannot see any traffic other than dns on the pfsens

Does anyone knows how to fix that and redirect all MAC traffic through PFsense VM?

I'd also be interested in a solution.
