Virtual Firewall in Hyper-V

Hello Gamers!

 

I am working on my home lab and want to use either Untangle or OPNSense as my main firewall. I also don't want to buy another box to put it in. I do have an old ThinkStation and an old 4-port Gigabit Ethernet card. However I've been having some issues with the WAN side.

 

Installation of OPNSense went fine, assigning the interfaces was a breeze, LAN side works... but no WAN IP. No matter what config I try the WAN interface (of the virtual firewall) never gets an IP from my modem. If I connect my regular $40 Netgear router it works fine, get an IP no issue.

 

I'm thinking my next step is to do a packet capture on the WAN side of the router and compare that to a packet capture on the WAN side of the virtual firewall. Really I'm just looking for a sanity check before I buy a used Netgate box off ebay.
