Hello hutiucip,

OK Thanks, for your answer!   :D

Hello hutiucip,

>Do you work with 10GBit Ethernet? Or have you experience OPNSense and 10Gbe?
I want to be sure the 10Gbe is no Problem for the OPNSense with VMXnet3. - (otherwise perhaps a Bottelneck)

>Could it be the problem with the "slow" Remote Desktop Session is a reason from to "slow" Processors or Harddrives?

[Target 1:]

Hello,

I want to implement OPNSense as Core Router with IPS on VMWare ESXi 6.5 an 10Gbe Hardware.

Target 1: Routing from around 10-15 VLANs
Target 2: Inline IPS (Between Server-VLAN, Client-VLAN, WLAN-VLAN Telephone-VLAN, ...)

Currently I have no hardware but I would like to find out whether it would work like that. The Hardware is not only for the OPNSense, the Hardware is for the Whole Virtual Machines. Now we have around 25 VMs

> Lenovo 3650 M5 512 GB-RAM with 10Gb Eth. Adapters
> VmWare ESXi 6.5
> OPN Sense should mange VLANs with VMXnet3 (Rounting)
> 4 Processors
> 8-16GB RAM
> 60 GB Storage (External on Lenovo V3700 FC with 48x 900Gb)


Questions:
>Works OPNSense fine with VMXnet3?
(I dont want to use the E1000 driver, because i have 10Gbe)
(I dont want to MAP the NIC from the ESXi Host directly to the OPNSense)
> Is it possible to Manage 10-15 VLANs?
> Is for Storage Performance the external Storage enough? - Or is it better to put a little SSD (only for OPNSense) in the VMWare Host?
> Could it be that the OPNSense, would be the bottleneck?

Thanks for Help.
