General Discussion / OpenSense As As A Virtual Machine Hosted In FreeNAS
« on: May 03, 2020, 11:28:14 am »
Hello All,
I run a FreeNAS box with 16C 2.1GHz processor, 64GB ECC RAM & 4 intel GBe NICs (the processors idle at -10% and max at -47%).
I now need a UTM/Firewall device to replace my ASUS router and have settled on utilizing OpenSense.
Please advice on whether OpenSense can SECURELY run as a virtual machine in FreeNAS using 1 dedicated GBE NIC for WAN. FreeNAS & Opensense would then concurrently share the remaining 3 GBe NICs for LAN.
Would you trust such a setup if properly setup?
Please dumb down your response as am not a network engineer. I am just dangerous enough to setup and run my really small home, SOHO & business IT needs which I eventually get right☺
I thank you in advance for your time and patience.
