Can you tell me if the instructions in this video will help me in any way?

Laptop can run perfectly with the lid closed. I was hoping to install OPNsense into a VM in either VirtualBox, Hyper-V or even install Proxmox VE on my laptop and install it in a VM under that. I thought I might be able to create multiple NIC's and give them appropriate IP addresses based on the fact that my current internal LAN is 192.168.1.0/24.

There is only one network port on my laptop. that is why I am trying to install it on a VM.

I live in the UK and have the 'standard' router issued to me by BT. What I am trying to do is create a VM, on a spare laptop that I have, then put the BT router into 'bridge' mode and forward all traffic to the ip address of my OPNsense VM. The OPNsense VM will then be my router and do the little bit of port forwarding that I currently have. My internal network is 192.168.1.0/24 and my gateway is 192.168.1.254.

Even though I am installing it as a VM with virtual NIC's???

The WAN is 192.168.1.2 which is the same as my internal LAN. The LAN is 192.168.10.100 which is specific to the VM. Screenshots below, if you wouldn't mind taking a look. I am using Hyper-V on Windows 10. Regards, Dave.

Does the WAN interface have to be a different network as well as the LAN?

I can ping 8.8.8.8 but cannot ping any other devices on my LAN which is 192.168.1.0/24. Also, my gateway is 192.168.1.254 but most of the tutorials have the gateway as 192.168.1.1.
Should I be using .1 or .254?

I've tried Hyper-V but I still cannot get into the GUI. Did you follow some instructions off the Internet.? Can you send me a link to follow.

Thanks. I will investigate the possibility.

Is it possible to install OPNSense as a Virtual Machine running on a Windows 10 PC? Can someone send me a link on how to do it.

Hello, I am new to OPNsense so please bear with me. I have installed OPNsense 22.7 on a Windows 10 laptop into a VM under VirtualBox. The VM boots fine. LAN is em0 192.168.1.1/24. WAN is em1 10.0.3.15/24. I can ping the outside world from the shell prompt. I CANNOT get into the admin interface 'https://192.168.1.1' from the laptop itself, or from either my PC or another LAPTOP which are both on the same network. I feel sure it is something simple. Please can anyone assist.

Regards
Dave
