ok tnx
A discussion more than 5 years old about ANYTHING in IT is usually moot.
The Forum posts states 2019, the overview states 2021ā¦
A generation in IT is roughly 1.5 years!
And the CPU theyāre tallking about is a CPU for an underrated WLan-AP. It would not be powerful enough to run any usable firewall! Those old CPUs are exotic sh*tā¦

Hello,
My whole purpose is to test NethSecurity in a VM environment. In order to be able to test it, I connect VM it runs to my physical LAN.
I see that by default NethSecurity run on 192.168.1.1 IP number and its GUI is accessible on that IP number. I also understand that there is a DHCP server running on that same IP number.
In order to reach GUI, I need to change default IP to my physical IP block say 192.168.11.0/24. If I do that, I think my existing DHCP server on my physical IP block will race with the NethSecurity DHCP server.
This chicken egg problem seems like a little issue to me. I believe it will be possible to disable DHCP from command line but still it would be better if I didnāt have to.
Just wanted to give some feedback.
Thanks & Regards,
Ertan

It depends: if youāre running on kvm or Digital ocean virtual machine, NethSecurity will try to use the DHCP for the lan interface: nethsecurity/files/etc/board.d/40virtual at main Ā· NethServer/nethsecurity Ā· GitHub
If necessary, we can add the same logic for more virtual machine engine.
OpenWrt has a built-in control: if another DHCP server is already running, it will not start its own.

Most current OS, even Windows, has this option nowadays. Sometimes thereās even an option to ignore a ārogueā DHCP serverā¦
