Tutorials and FAQs / Why on VM? / Virtual installation vs. Hard disk
« on: June 07, 2023, 02:49:34 pm »
Dear forum,
I am as new to OPNsense, as I am to Firewalls in general. (Relatively new to computers as well...).
So recherching the "modus operandi" of installation I saw many tutorials on how to install OPNsense on a virtualbox. I have allready understood how to do this, but I dont understand:
Why would I install OPNsense on VM, rather than right on the device itselfe?
