How I setup my test environment under VirtualBox

[Pulsar]

For the record, here is how I test opnsense: two virtual machines. Each has a 10GB HDD, 512MB of memory and 3 vnics configured in virtio:
- vnic0 is the WAN side and is set as a "bridge" interface over a physical Ethernet interface
- vnic1 is the LAN side and is set as an "internal network" (name "net1")
- vnic1 is the OPT1 interface and is set as an "internal network" (name "net2"), this is the interface used for pfsync

Really important: enable the promiscuous mode on vnic0 and vnic1 else you won't be able to use a VIP failover through CARP.

I set a minimalistic network configuration on the LAN interface, then from a third VM that shares the virtual network "net1", I configure each my opnvpn nodes.
