You're recommended to install WFilterROS in virtual machines only for preview testing. Please also check:
* WFilterROS in a virtual machine shall work in "gateway" mode.
* To test a client, you need to modify this client's network settings to use WFilerROS as its gateway.
* Please note: in a vm, since both outgoing and incoming traffic use a same cable, suppose your network connection is 100Mb, you only can get a maximum bandwidth of 50Mb.
* To install WFilterROS in a physical PC, please check: [[Installation of WFilter ROS|WFilterROS Installation Steps]]

This document demonstrates certain steps to setup a virtualbox virtual machine running WFilterROS.

= Steps to install WFilterROS in Virtualbox =
* New a virtual machine, choose "Other Linux 32bit"

* The harddisk settings:

* Two bridged network adapters:

* The final virtual machine settings:
[[File:virtualbox5.png|750px]]
* Boot the virtual machine, chooose WFilterROS iso as the startup disk:
[[File:virtualbox6.png|600px]]

* Now you may start the virtual machine and begin the installation, please also check [[Installation of WFilter ROS#Installation Steps|WFilterROS Installation Steps]]

== Configuration ==

Add an 192.168.10.x ip in your host pc, then you can access webUI of WFilterROS via this url: http://192.168.10.1 . Please note:
* Suppose your existing subnet is "192.168.1.x", with gateway "192.168.1.1".
* In "Wizard" of WFilterROS, please choose "Gateway" and set a "Static" ip to the WAN interface.(For example: 192.168.1.2, netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.1)
* Modify ip address of a client device to "192.168.10.x", with gateway "192.168.10.1"(the default lan ip of WFilterROS).
* If there is an existing DHCP server in your network. Please disable it. So WFilterROS will act as the DHCP server. All clients with "dynamic ip" will be redirected to WFilterROS.
