Using a pre-built VMWare image of WFilter NG Firewall

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.

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.

• In "Virtual Network Editor", disable DHCP for the hostonly VMnet.(Because WFilter NGF already has a DHCP server.)

• Boot this virtual machine, choose "I copied it".

• Successfully booted.

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).

To open WFilter web UI, you need to setup another virtual machine(either windows or linux), connected to the hostonly adapter,
