Hm, in that case try a different videocard? You might miss the EFI boot screen, but at least you have OPNsense screen.

Maybe is has something to do with the EFI. The 2008 Mac Pro doesn't use UEFI.
Have you tried VGA? You can set that in the configuration on the webconfig.

I had a 2008 Mac Pro but never installed FreeBSD/HardenedBSD on it.

It's never to late to join the Light Side of the Force ;-)

Are you running pfSense or OPNsense? Because if you are running the former, you're on the wrong forum ;-)

I will wait for the update :-)

Thought it might be something like that. The applying threw a ton of crap on the screen :-)

Got it installed. Colour scheme looks nice, although I do not like the font that is used.
I prefer the Rebellion theme font more. Easier to read, imo.
The font is nice when typing a letter in Word, not on a configuration page.

Also, it shows "logo" in the top left corner where it should show the actual OPNsense logo?

Looks very nice. Looking forward to find it as a plugin to try out.

Which CPU are you using? Mine is a GX-420CA SOC and no problems at all.

ISD/IPS is fine in a VM. Just make sure to follow the guide on disabling offloading.

How and why does a MAC address match to IPv4 or IPv6 address?

There are several topics on Hyper-V and Gen 2.
IIRC you can only be lucky with Gen 1.

It's been a while since I used OPNsense on Hyper-V, so I am rusty.

No, because it works on Linux. It's installation scripts supports a couple of Linux distros and has dependencies on them.
It would require a complete rewrite, and no doubt there are other things that would need change as well.

I think those 8 cores/16 threads will be overkill (though not sure HardenedBSD in OPNsense has HT disabled) will be overkill for your connection.

Right now I have a 500/40 cable connection using a AMD GX-420CA SOC, which is an older SOC even, and it does about 18% when downloading (no IPS/IDS) at 535 Mbps.
This SOC is simple compared to that Xeon D. So I really think you'll be fine.

I was trying to get IPsec Road Warrior to work last weekend, and stumbled on this issue as well.
What I mainly missed was the ability to set the privileges on the user's groups for xauth, as you can only choose from GUI items.

I will try your two configuration settings. Hopefully it will work then.
