Opnsense as a host for Virtualbox
« on: April 12, 2015, 05:26:35 pm »
I have this working and plan to post the script when i get done.  I realize that is not its purpose buy hey,  it can do it.  My question is about interfaces.  I want to create a virtual interface in host (Opnsense) to connect to the LAN side.  With all the confusion about rc.conf I just simply got lost and figured I would ask.  Does anyone know how to do this?

Maybe I am guessing wrong but...  on a firewall you are not supposed to install nothing absolutely anything but the absolute minimalistic mandatory software to route/filter/audit and eventually manage from the inside and nothing else. Extra services should be located on a dedicated and separate machine...

Don't know about the interface setup, but I want to reply to Pulsar:

That's true for larger deployments, but smaller users or business owners tend to approach everything with a one-size-fits-all solution. That's why we have UTM in the first place. Too much demand not to address it.
