How can I install XG Firewall on VMware Fusion or Workstation?

    You need to configure the correct network in VMnet (C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmnetcfg.exe:

    it was the VMnet8 NAT adapter in my case

    SFOS boots for the first time with a "magic" IP 172.16.16.16 and DHCP on that interface. There may be a conflict if you try to bind default LAN interface to VMware interface with DHCP enabled.

    Try disabling DHCP on VMware application - you can find how in VMware KB.

    You can also try setting IP manually to 172.16.16.17 for example.

    The easiest way to configure SFOS is to create a VM with a desktop OS - Ubuntu for example - and configure SFOS from within the VM. I successfuly did it this way after disabling DHCP on VMNet1 interface in Fusion.

    Thanks for your suggestions. I got it running now. Solution was a bit similar to Nemo, maybe Slawskis would also work out, Slawskis brought me the right way. DHCP on the interface, also if it's the private one, result in getting problems with the setup. I was able to find something similar to vmnetcfg.exe in VMware Fusion, I was able to set up my own network vmnet2 with own settings, so I disabled DHCP there and separated it from my computer (host) and lan network. With another virtual machine on vmnet2, running however Windows 10, leading me in additional issues, as this machine than needs to DHCP the address on vmnet2 from the new running SFOS machine, manual setting to 172.16.16.2 failed, I was now able to get further.
