I'm just curious. You want to have a VPN endpoint running in FreeBSD as a guest OS within Qemu, on a FreeBSD host? You want it in Qemu so you don't have to modify the host's network setup and/or install the necessary software? In any case, take a look here (if you haven't already): http://www.qemu.org/qemu-doc.html#SEC20 Might find something useful. The Qemu site states "The QEMU VM behaves as if it was behind a firewall which blocks all incoming connections." So on first glance, its sounds as if it might not be supported. But I'd read over the docs in more detail if I were you. > Wishful thinking, or does this make sense? Has anyone done it? > Pointers to docs on this, if so? > > Thx ... > > ---- > Marc G.
