Hi everyone,
Sorry if this is a trivial question, but I am new to VMWare and still trying to get to know it a bit better.
I have a server with VMWare ESXi 6.5U2 (free Hypervisor) installed, which is connected to my internet router. Since this is a free license, I do not have vCenter available. Now, I would like to host a linux server as a virtual machine (web server etc.) that is protected by a transparent firewall setup (OPNsense or similar) placed as a virtual machine "before" the virtual host. Incomfing traffice would be routed to the ESXi host (port forwarding), through the transparent firewall and to the linux server.
However, I am at loss on how I can possibly configure the vSwitches in the ESXi Web Interface to allow for such a scenario. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any help is appreciated!
Best,
Andreas
