22.7 Legacy Series / Re: Anybody out there who is using OPNsense as a switch?

« on: December 01, 2022, 09:29:32 am »

I am using virtualized OPNsense atop of a kvm virtualizer. Kvm is using also bridges either openswitch or direct kernel bridges. Both work like a charm compared to previous hardware solution.
So do not see any issue to do like you planned (SDN)
So having multiple VLANs for the internal and external networks and OPNsense is the router/firewall/NAT in between all of them

Anyway one flaw in my message, KVM is based in my case on linux, so cannot say for sure for BSD/OPNsense if it will perform also so well there.

22.7 Legacy Series / how to install qemu on 22.7.8

« on: November 22, 2022, 10:43:26 pm »

Hi there,

I am having freshly installed OPNsense as VM. I am having issues to find out how to install qemu-guest tools on OPNsense.

Can someone help me how to install it?

Any experiences if qemu makes OPNsense ?

- less stable
- no change on stability
