I've been running OPNSense on ESXi for over a year now, I know it's possible. What isn't possible is creating a bridge that is visible to VMs and physically connected devices on the same subnet. OPNSense cannot bridge multiple virtual NICs and the free version of ESXi will not allow you to...

As I stated, I did get it working in Proxmox but the performance was not acceptable. And yes, you are correct, I want to use these ports as a switch as one would do with any firewall / router that has a WAN interface and a group of ports dedicated to the private LAN. Sometimes, the academics of...

So I was able to get it working using passthru as you suggested, but that ultimately defeats the config I was hoping to achieve where I could also share those NICs with other VMs on the host... I decided instead to just have the NICs provided to OPNSense as virtual NICs where I assign a...

This is what I've done. By making the vSwitches and Port Groups, I was able to pass all four NICs on to OPNSense without any issues. I shouldn't have to get into VLANing in ESX to do this ... though I thought I could make my bridge using a single vSwitch on the ESX side, which I did try, by...
