So PFSense is NOT the first line of defense then?
It is behind another guest?

I create HVM, then convert it to NetVM/TemplateVM from TemplateHVM.
That normally works for me.

But the thing is it's difficult if you odn't have the right things there to 
allow the connection to be created automatically. so that's where I come 
unstuck.


Even if it's the external, then you have multiple internals, that are statics, 
after that you have the guests behind them, then that would work?

How do you set up multiple NICs for it though?
