That is not super helpful in showing how to access the OPNsense web interface with the LAN interface enabled.

Other articles simply show how to install OPNsense and nothing else. On the step where the second network adapter is set to a “Host-only Adapter”, there is nothing to select in the dropdown box. The initial configuration step of setting up a “Host-only Networks” does not exist in current versions of VirtualBox (at least not in that location). One article I read was out of date and it does not seem VirtualBox functions quite the same way. They usually involved setting up the first adapter as a “Bridged Adapter” so it has a virtual, unique IP address on your network (which makes it look like a separate physical machine on your network) and setting the second adapter to “Host-only Adapter”. I looked up examples online about how to set up OPNsense with 2 network interfaces in VirtualBox. Nothing seemed to work for what I was trying to achieve. I tried setting up firewall rules and changing some other settings. However, when I add a second network adapter to the virtual machine and enable the interface in OPNsense, the NAT firewall and other settings are activated, which blocks access to the web interface from the WAN interface. I used this configuration to take a few screenshots, but I soon had a need to take screenshots that required me to have a LAN interface.Īdding another network adapter in VirtualBox is quite simple. This works well enough if you wish to browse through the web interface to evaluate the available features. When only a WAN interface is present, the NAT firewall is not enabled and it seems as though other settings such as blocking local network addresses is not enabled on the WAN interface.

The best I could do was to only enable a single network adapter so that OPNsense would configure that interface as a WAN interface, which would allow access to the web interface. I tried several times to set up an OPNsense virtual machine in VirtualBox in the past, but I would have trouble accessing the OPNsense web interface. So it was finally time to take the time to set up a proper virtual machine that I could use to take screenshots. It was definitely less than ideal, and I ran the risk of messing up my network. I sometimes have to resort to tweaking the screenshot slightly after taking it in order to show what the interface should look like without everything already configured.

Sometimes I am able to use my actual home network router to take screenshots, but I have to be careful not to modify any settings. When creating content for this website, I often have the need to take screenshots of the OPNsense web interface.
