Hello Community,
I installed OPNSENSE on a virtual machine which is hosted by VMWare. I get the message that asks me for my WAN Interface name but I don´t know what the programm expects. Auto detection doesn´t work. What is asked here?

I take it your on the console? Above the question you will see the interfaces.
em0, em1, etc. Naming will depend on the system. Hyper-V calls them he0, he1, etc.
And in VMware you probably made a virtual switch which has a physical NIC to which your WAN cable is connected.
If you set the VM to have a list a NICs you probably would add the first NIC and connect that to the virtual switch which is connected to your WAN NIC.
That would be the one to choose then.
