1 Introduction
We do provide a pre-built VMWare image of WFilter NG Firewall. In case you want to preview WFilter NG Firewall without installation, you can download this vmware image of WFilter NG Firewall.
Please note:
- This vm has 1GB RAM and 2GB disk. Only for small networks(less than 50 clients) and features preview.
- 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.
- You also can build the virtual machine by yourself, please check: Install WFilter NG Firewall in a Virtual Machine
2 Import Steps
- Download the zip file, unzip it into a directory.
- In VMWare workstation, click "Open a Virtual Machine" to open "WFilter NG Firewall.vmx".
- Review the virtual machine settings.
- Boot this virtual machine, choose "I copied it".
- Successfully booted.
3 Setup
- Set a LAN pc to static IP address "192.168.10.2", mask "255.255.255.0", gateway "192.168.10.1".
- Type http://192.168.10.1 in your browser to open web UI.
- Set a valid static IP for WAN interface and correct gateway.
4 Usage
Please note:
- This vm has two bridged adapters, one has no IP assigned(WAN), another is assigned with IP 192.168.10.1(LAN interface, DHCP enabled).
- To manage other LAN clients, you need to modify client device gateway to WFilter NGF("192.168.10.1"). There are two solutions:
- Static IP: modify clients IP to 192.168.10.x, with gateway 192.168.10.1.
- Dynamic IP: since WFilter already has DHCP enabled, you only need to shutdown your existing DHCP. So new connected clients will take WFilter NGF as gateway.
5 Extension
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: Hardware Requirements Please follow below steps to add a harddisk:
- Add a 100GB harddisk.
- Add partition for this new disk.
- Set this partition for data storage.
