 * Two bridged adapters, one has no IP assigned(WAN), another is assigned with IP 192.168.10.1(LAN interface, DHCP enabled).
 * Since these two bridged adapters are based on same physical adapter. You can only get half thoughput of the physical adapter.

-This virtual machine has two adapters, the bridged adapter is for external network(DHCP), the hostonly adapter is for internal network(192.168.10.x).
+[[File:vmware_image5.png|600px]]
-To open WFilter web UI, you need to setup another virtual machine(either windows or linux), connected to the hostonly adapter with DHCP enabled(obtain ip address automatically).
+* Set a valid static IP for WAN interface and correct gateway.
-This client vm will be assigned with IP address "192.168.10.x". And you can access WFilter web-UI at: http://192.168.10.1

-= Filter LAN clients =
+= Usage =
-Since internal network of the pre-built vm is on the hostonly adapter, you can only monitor and filter hostonly clients by default. It's enough for preview and testing in most case.
+= Extension =
-If you want to filter LAN clients, please check below steps:
+The 2GB disk can only record usage and reports for 2-3 days(100 clients). You can extend the vm for more clients, please check: [[Installation_of_WFilter_ROS|Hardware Requirements]]
-* Modify vm settings, change the "hostonly" adapter to "bridged".
+Please follow below steps to add a harddisk:
-* Disable the current DHCP server of your network. (Let WFilter acts as the DHCP server)
-* LAN clients will be assigned with ip address "192.168.10.x", and controlled by WFilter NGF.
+* Add a 100GB harddisk.
